Federer is seeking a seventh title at the season finale. He already holds the record for most titles with six, having surpassed Sampras (5) and Lendl (5) with his victory in London in 2011. The Swiss has taken on eight different opponents in his nine previous finals. This will be the third time he has met Djokovic in the final, losing to the Serb in the 2012 final and giving a walkover last year due to a back injury.

  • How the Court Surface Is Affecting the Serve-And-Volley Tristan Barnett
    How the court surface is affecting the serve-and-volley Tristan Barnett Strategic Games www.strategicgames.com.au 1. Introduction The modern version of the game (official name of Lawn Tennis) as we recognize it today was designed and patented by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield in 1873. Two years later in 1875, the official rules of the game were drawn up by Marylebone Cricket Club, and two years later in 1877, Wimbledon began on a grass surface as the first official championships. All four grand slam events have been played on a grass surface. Wimbledon is the only grand slam event played on a grass court today and has always been played on a grass court surface. The French Open began in 1891 on a grass surface and remained on grass until 1928 when the surface was changed to clay. The US Open began in 1881 on a grass surface; until it was changed to clay from 1975-1977 and from 1978 has been played on a hard court surface. Finally, the Australian Open began in 1905 on a grass surface and remained on grass until 1988 when the surface was changed to a hard court. There has been a change in the proportion of tournaments played on different court surfaces from 1877 to 2010. Firstly, for the first 14 years of the game, all tournaments (grand slam and non grand slam) were played on grass. Secondly, for the first 101 years of the game all tournaments were played on the natural surfaces of grass and clay. Thirdly, according to the ITF, until the early 1970’s, the majority of tournaments were played on grass including three out of the four grand slams.
