This has been by far the best ATP tour end final. Roger Federer and David Nalbandian played a classic match back in 2005. This would be a career turning point especially for Nalbandian, but turning in the wrong direction.
There are now four who have qualified for the year ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. Roger Federer has joined Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray.
