ATP FINALS: NOVAK DJOKOVIC BEATS KEVIN ANDERSON TO REACH FINAL.


Novak Djokovic’s serving has been impeccable this week – he has not been broken
at all in four matches

World number one Novak Djokovic put in a ruthless display to beat Kevin Anderson
and reach the final of the ATP Finals in London.

The Serb will play Germany’s Alexander Zverev in Sunday’s season finale after a
6-2 6-2 victory.

In what was a re-run of July’s Wimbledon final, Djokovic dominated in the same
way this time to reach his seventh final of the year.


THE 14-TIME GRAND SLAM CHAMPION HAS NOT DROPPED A SET ALL WEEK.


THE PRETENDER’ BEATS ‘THE KING’

Former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker, commentating for BBC TV, had said before
the match between ‘the King and the Pretender’ that he believed Zverev was a
future world number one.

With three Masters titles to his name, the young German has yet to make his mark
on the Grand Slams – although his French Open quarter-final this year was a
breakthrough.

But now he will get the chance to win the season-ending title, which is second
only to the Slams in terms of prestige.

There were moments when Zverev seemed to show a bit too much respect for
Federer.

His body shot at the Swiss in the sixth game of the first set was half-hearted
and cost him a point, while he volleyed a ball that was well on its way out of
the court in the next game – as if not quite believing that the great Federer
was able to hit long.

But he oozed confidence when it mattered the most, setting up three set points
on Federer’s serve in the 12th game.

Getting there had included a fantastic passing shot after he raced to Federer’s
drop shot, and the roar that followed said it all.

He sealed the set when Federer hit a forehand wide and then kept the momentum
going early in the second set when he immediately held to love.



The German was never going to get it all his own way, with Federer setting up
three break points of his own with a stunning forehand on the line, and taking
the game when Zverev could only get a racquet edge to the Swiss’ forehand.

But Zverev wasted no time in breaking back when a Federer forehand went wide and
from then on they matched each other to set up the tie-break.

After setting up two match points, Zverev sealed victory on the second one with
a fantastic backhand that Federer could not get anywhere near.


WHY WAS ZVEREV BOOED?

Zverev should have been beaming after one of the biggest wins of his career, yet
looked emotional and ended up feeling “lost” in his post-match interview after
some Federer fans jeered.

Presumably they felt the German had showed gamesmanship when he stopped play in
the tie-break after the ball boy came on to the court, although the rules state
the point must be replayed in such circumstances.

Former British number one Annabel Croft, who was conducting the on-court
interview, scolded the crowd for their negative reaction.

“He was playing by the rules so I think you all have to be a little more
respectful,” she said.

BBC Sport presenter Sue Barker said she was “quite embarrassed” by the crowd’s
reaction, while colleague Tim Henman called it “disappointing”.

“You have to play a let,” added former Wimbledon semi-finalist Henman. “Once
Federer understood what had happened, he accepted it.”


ATP Finals tournament director Adam Hogg criticised the crowd’s reaction, while
praising Annabel Croft’s handling of the situation


FEDERER’S WAIT FOR 100TH TITLE CONTINUES

After Federer sealed his 99th career singles title in front of a home crowd in
Basel last month, all eyes have been on when the great Swiss player will reach
triple figures.

His chance to get there in Paris at the start of November was ended in the
semi-finals by world number one Djokovic and in London he has once again fallen
just short.

He did, however, get closer this week than looked likely after his poor – and
grumpy – performance as he lost his opening round-robin match to Kei Nishikori.

Time is not on Federer’s side – with the Swiss having turned 37 in August – but
the fact he won four titles this year, including his record-extending 20th Grand
Slam title at the Australian Open, means few would bet against him reaching the
milestone very soon.


ANALYSIS

BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller

Winners having to apologise for winning is becoming a habit in 2018.

The atmosphere was not nearly as hostile as that faced by Naomi Osaka at the US
Open, but Zverev was subjected to whistles and jeers by a significant minority
of the crowd.



The decent majority, and the sure-footed intervention of interviewer Annabel
Croft, helped salvage the situation.

Adulation can know no bounds, and it is by no means the first time devotion to
Federer has overstepped the mark.

The match itself was a triumph for Zverev. He looked extremely assured
throughout as he broke Federer to love to win the first set, and then held his
nerve in the second set tiebreak.

The 21-year-old has won all four tie-breaks he has played this week.
