Djokovic has a 23-0 career head-to-head record against the other three players in the group. 9 December, 2009 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals Day 1 – Sunday, November 13, 2016 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). 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 become the 17th player on the prestigious list. 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 he will drop on Nov. 28 following his performance in the 2015 Davis Cup final.

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. CLINCHING NO. 1: The last time No. 1 in the year-end Emirates ATP Rankings changed hands in the season finale was in 2001 Sydney where Lleyton Hewitt overcame Gustavo Kuerten to finish No. 1. This will be the sixth time since then the year-end No. 1 ranking will be clinched in the season finale. The other previous times occurred in Shanghai (2002), Houston (2003) and London (2009, 2013-14). In all other years since 2001, No. 1 was already clinched prior to the year-end championship.

  • 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.

  • Sports India and World
    SPORTS INDIA AND WORLD World Cup Cricket History The idea of organising a World Cup of cricket was mooted and agreed to in principle in 1971 when such a proposal was discussed at a meeting of the International Cricket Conference in London. However, due to various commitments the tournaments could not be staged until 1975 when the original plan of a South African team's visit to England fell through following opposition to the country's racial policy. England's Prudential Assurance Company came forward with sponsorship and for three consecutive years - 1975, 1979 and 1983, the one-day limited overs cricket tournament was held in England. It became famous as the Prudential Cup. In the first two tournaments, apart from the six full members of the International Cricket Conference (England, Australia, West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan), Sri Lanka, before being elevated to Test status in 1981, had joined East Africa in 1975 and Canada in 1979 (two top teams among the associate members) to complete the groups in the tournaments proper. The West Indies, under Clive Lloyd, not only won the first two tournaments in 1975 and 1979 but in true Calypso style they produced sparkling cricket and confirmed their unassailable supremacy in this game. India broke the West Indian stranglehold in 1983 to open a new chapter in the brief annals of this prestigious tournament.
