    Singles Group B qualification scenarios for Saturday, 9 November

    N. DJOKOVIC has won the group.
    Winner of J. DEL POTRO versus R. FEDERER will finish 2nd in the group.

    So a basic shootout for the second semi final spot. Looking good for a wonderful match up between the two on Saturday.

    Was actually a very good match. A lot of excruciating drama for a tennis fan like me. So Federer vs Nadal and Djokovic vs Wawrinka for the Semi Finals tomorrow. Will be another great day of tennis.

    A very interesting pattern all through the match was Federer losing a service game in each set. In the first he actually lost two before breaking Del Potro. He's still not 100% and would definitely find the going tough if he plays in the same vein against Nadal. Its still not confirmed, but one should expect Djokovic to go over Gasquet and reclaim the number one spot in the group.

    So its official. The rivalry now extends to the semi finals of the 2013 ATP Tours Finals. And Federer's is 4-0 against Nadal here in this tournament. Wont be surprised if Nadal corrects that record.

    I am losing interest in DP now. He has awesome power but he plays like women's tennis...hits the ball to the same spots with the same shots over and over. Federer was very erratic and DP could have won had he just used a little more variety. I see Wawrinka getting well ahead of DP next year, he's finally finding his game. And Federer needs to serve a lot better against Nadal. Nadal is also sure to target the backhand side, which DP didn't really try consistently.

    omega sir, please please stop this.

    I hope you don't mention it as Spanish Raging Bull against Swiss Pious Cow.

    It could also be called the "Spanish Bull" against the "Swiss Goat." [Disclaimer: Some people consider Federer to be the g.o.a.t. in tennis.]
