2016 Barclays Atp World Tour Finals Storylines 2016 BARCLAYS ATP WORLD TOUR FINALS STORYLINES NO. 1 ON THE LINE: The season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals is headlined by eight players from as many countries. This is the first time since the 1974 Masters in Melbourne the year- end championship features eight players from eight different countries. New No. 1 Andy Murray is trying to finish the season as the top player in the Emirates ATP Rankings for the first time while reigning four-time champion Novak Djokovic is attempting to regain the top spot and end the year No. 1 for the third season in a row and fifth in six years. This is the eighth year the season finale is being held at The O2 and this will be the third time in the past four years the year-end No. 1 player will be determined in London. Murray leads Group John McEnroe and is joined by three-time semi-finalist No. 3 Stan Wawrinka, No. 5/2014 semi-finalist Kei Nishikori and No. 7 Marin Cilic. Djokovic is joined in Group Ivan Lendl by No. 4 Milos Raonic and first-time participants No. 6 Gael Monfils and No. 8 Dominic Thiem. Djokovic is the only player in the field who has reached the final/won the title. THE GROUPS: GROUP FINALS YEARS JOHN PLAYER BEST RESULT RECORD QUALIFIED McENROE 1.

Marin Cilic (CRO) 0-3 RR 2014 2nd GROUP JOHN McENROE NOTES: Three former semi-finalists are in this group (Murray, Nishikori, Wawrinka) with the World No. 1 leading the way with three semi-finals. Murray is 5-2 in openers, Wawrinka 2-1 and Nishikori 1-1. Murray has a 27-12 combined record against his RR opponents. GROUP FINALS YEARS IVAN PLAYER BEST RESULT RECORD QUALIFIED LENDL 2. Novak Djokovic (SRB) 27-10 W 2008, 2012-13-14-15 10th 4. Milos Raonic (CAN) 0-2 RR 2014 2nd 6. Gael Monfils (FRA) 0-0 Debut 1st 8. Dominic Thiem (AUT) 0-0 Debut 1st GROUP IVAN LENDL NOTES: Djokovic is 8-1 in opening round matches and has won eight in a row since losing in 2007 debut (l. to Ferrer). He is 18-1 over the past four years, losing only to Federer in last year’s second round robin match. Thiem and Monfils are making their debut while Raonic returns for the second time in three years. Thiem (23) and Raonic (25) are the two youngest players in the field. Djokovic has a 23-0 career head-to-head record against other three players in the group. NOVAK EYES SIXTH TITLE: Djokovic is attempting to join Roger Federer as the only players to win the season finale six times in tournament history. Last year Djokovic became the first player to win four year-end titles in a row. Djokovic is 5-0 in finals, earning titles in 2008 (d. Davydenko), 2012 (d. Federer), 2013 (d. Nadal), 2014 (W/O vs. Federer) and last year (d. Federer). He is one of four players to win the tournament at least five times, joining Federer (6), Pete Sampras (5) and Lendl (5). NO. 1 AT STAKE: After ending Djokovic’s 122 consecutive-week stay on top in men’s tennis, Murray finds himself in a fight with the Serb for the coveted year-end No. 1 Emirates ATP Ranking. Djokovic is looking to take that honor for the fifth time in the past six years while Murray is looking to become just the fourth player since 2004 and 17th overall to finish the season No. 1. There are several scenarios that could see either player finish the year No. 1. But both have destiny in their own hands. Murray will finish No. 1 if he wins the title regardless of how many of his three group stage matches he wins. To guarantee a No. 1 finish, Djokovic must win two group stage matches and take the title to upstage Murray. If the tournament’s top two seeds meet in the final the outcome will determine who finishes the year No. 1 (see No.1 scenarios below). The last time the No. 1 ranking changed hands in the season finale was in 2001 Sydney as Lleyton Hewitt overcame Gustavo Kuerten to finish No. 1. YEAR-END NO. 1 DOMINANCE: For the past 12 years, the year-end No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings has been held by one of three players – Djokovic, Federer or Nadal. Federer has finished No. 1 five years (2004-07,2009), Djokovic four years (2011-12, 2014-15) and Nadal three years (2008, 2010, 2013). No other trio in the history of the Emirates ATP Rankings (since 1973) has held No. 1 for 12 straight years. Murray is trying to become the first player other than this trio to finish No. 1 since Andy Roddick in 2003. Of the 26 players to hold No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, 16 have finished No. 1. Murray is trying to become the 17th player on the prestigious list. NO. 1 IN LONDON: The No. 1 player has reached the final of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals the past four years, with Djokovic winning the title in 2012 and 2014-15 and Rafael Nadal finishing runner- up in 2013. In the history of the year-end championship, the only other time the No. 1 player reached the final four consecutive years was from 1984-87 with John McEnroe winning the title in 1984 and Ivan Lendl from 1985-87. The No. 1 player has won the season finale title 18 times since 1973 when the Emirates ATP Rankings began with Djokovic, Federer, Lendl and Sampras winning three times each, Borg won twice and Nastase, Connors, McEnroe and Hewitt once each. YEAR-END NO. 1 SCENARIOS: Here is the complete points breakdown for Murray and Djokovic in the year-end Emirates ATP Rankings, which will be published on Nov. 28. Murray’s totals already take into account the 275 points that will drop on Nov. 28 following his 2015 Davis Cup final performance.

  • Dimitrov, Cilic Qualify for Nitto Atp Finals
    24 October 2017 DIMITROV, CILIC QUALIFY FOR NITTO ATP FINALS LONDON – Grigor Dimitrov and Marin Cilic have both secured their places at the Nitto ATP Finals, to be held from 12-19 November at The O2 in London. They will join World No. 1 Rafael Nadal, six-time champion Roger Federer, 20-year-old debutant Alexander Zverev and two-time qualifier Dominic Thiem in the elite eight-man field. Dimitrov, the first Bulgarian to qualify for the prestigious season-ending tournament, and Cilic, who previously qualified in 2014 and 2016, clinched their berths today after fellow contender Sam Querrey lost in the first round of the Erste Bank Open 500 in Vienna. In compiling the best season of his career, Dimitrov won his biggest title in August when he claimed his first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 crown at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati (d. Kyrgios). The Bulgarian also put together a 16-1 record en route to the Australian Open semi-finals (l. to Nadal) and a pair of ATP World Tour 250 titles. He defeated three Top 10 players — Dominic Thiem, Milos Raonic and Kei Nishikori — in the final three rounds of the Brisbane International presented by Suncorp. On home soil at the Garanti Koza Sofia Open, the 26-year-old lifted the trophy with victory over David Goffin in the final. Last week, he finished as runner-up to Juan Martin del Potro at the Intrum Stockholm Open. Cilic claimed the ATP World Tour 250 crown at the TEB BNP Paribas Istanbul Open (d. Raonic) in April, and also reached two finals in London — one at Wimbledon (l.

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.
