World number four Roger Federer began the season-ending ATP Tour Finals in London's O2 Arena with victory over French powerhouse Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. The match wasn’t without drama, as Federer, having won the first set in just 21 minutes, lost the second, before destroying Tsonga’s fight in the 10th game of the decider.

*In a move more reminiscent of a boxing stand-off, Britain’s Andy Murray has been re-kindling the rivalry between himself and six-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer, ahead of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. * * * Murray and Federer have not come up against one another on court this year, but they could dispute a £1.

Andy Murray's is one step closer to overtaking Roger Federer in the world rankings before the end of the season as the Scot won the Thailand Open, beating American Donald Young 6-2 6-0. The world number four was too good for Young, who was featuring in his first ATP final in Bangkok.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga repeated his Wimbledon heroics by defeating Roger Federer in the last 16 of the Montreal Masters. The Frenchman defeated the world number two in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon in June and came out victorious again with a 7-6 (7-3) 4-6 6-1 win to advance to the last eight.
