Federer, who has been increasingly overshadowed by Rafael Nadal and  Novak Djokovic, tore the German apart to show he is not yet a spent force. The 16-time grand slam champion looked impressive on the clay surface, despite it not being his favourite.

Nadal faces Finland’s Jarkko Nieminen in the second round, as he attempts to win his seventh straight Monte Carlo title. Djokovic is not taking part in the event due to a minor injury.

The superb victory means that Djokivic is now just one win short of equaling Ivan Lendl’s record of 25 consecutive wins at the start of a tennis year.

The Serbian, 23, took his fourth title of the year by beating Nadal 4-6 6-3 7-6 (7-4).

The clash marks the first time the two have met on American soil for six years.

Despite needing treatment for a shoulder problem, Nadal advanced to the semi-final stage by beating Tomas Berdych 6-2 3-6 6-3. Federer had a much easier quarter-final as his opponent, Giles Simon, withdrew after just three games due to a stiff neck.

The Serb, who has won all three events he has played in this season including the Australian Open, is the only man in the top 125 to have not lost a match this year.

The wins have come thick and fast for Djokovic, who beat Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal en route to victory in last week’s Indian Wells Masters.

Andy Murray is not one of the names involved, though the Scot can still request a wild card as he did last year.

Barring injuries and late withdrawals, this will be the biggest line-up in recent years.

Tennis tickets, including Wimbledon, are available now.

The world number one was barely tested in a 6-3 6-1 victory, as he continues his comeback from a leg injury suffered at the Australian open.

“I didn’t play really impressive, but I played solid. I didn’t have big mistakes,” the Spaniard said.

Tennis tickets, including Wimbledon, are available now.

Queen’s Club serves as a great warm-up for the Wimbledon Championship, which begins on June 20th, just a fortnight after the start of Queen’s on June 6th.

American Roddick, 28, joins Australian Open winner Novak Djokovic and world number one Rafael Nadal in the field. Roddick has won the Queen’s Club tournament in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007. He has also reached the final of Wimbledon on three ocassions.

The number one seed defeat the British number one on three sets in a match that saw both Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal on top form. Rafael Nadal clinched the first set in a dramatic tie-break, but Murray fought back to win the second set 6-3. The final set saw both Murray and Nadal playing some of the best tennis of they have played this season.

The third set went down to a tie-break, but Andy Murray was not able to match the pace and power of Rafa. The second of this evening’s semi-finals sees the world number two, Roger Federer, take on Novak Djokovic. The winner will take on Rafael Nadal at the O2 Arena tomorrow afternoon. Tennis fans will be hoping to see the top two seeds go head-to-head once again as they compete for the most prestigious title in tennis outside the four Grand Slams. However, Novak Djokovic has been in good form of late and will be determined to secure his place in the final.

Tixdaq can confirm ATP World Tour Finals tickets are still available for tomorrow’s final. Tickets to see Rafael Nadal take on Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic are on sale from £95. Barclays ATP World Tour Finals tickets are available to buy online.

He must first face Andy Roddick of the United States, who has won the US Open himself, and the American’s return to form in the second half of the season earned him a place in the season ending tournament. The big serving Roddick will prove a tough test indeed, especially on the fast court inside the O2.

Nadal v Roddick tickets for their match on Monday November 22nd after 8pm are currently on sale from £13. Vamos!

Sunday 21st November:

Afternoon: Robin Soderling vs Andy Murray

Evening: Roger Federer vs David Ferrer

Monday, 22 November 2010:

Afternoon: Novak Djokovic vs Tomas Berdych

Evening: Rafael Nadal vs Andy Roddick

Barclays ATP World Tour Finals tickets are available to buy online.

Of course, Brian Dabul of Argentina was never going to be the most challenging of opponents, but the Swiss maestro’s near capitulation to Colombian ace Alejandro Falla at Wimbledon in July will have prevented complacency, and he was in fine form as he defeated Dabul 6-1 6-4 6-2, which included a wonderful through-the-legs winner in the third set.

The man who beat Federer in the French Open at Roland Garros had an enormous fright yesterday. Robin Soderling needed five sets to beat Austrian qualifier Andreas Haider-Maurer, while Jurgen Melzer and Gael Monfils also required their matches to go the full length to progress.

With such exciting tennis on display on Day One of the US Open, ATP World Tour Finals tickets are rising in demand. With his win yesterday, Roger Federer has confirmed his place at the O2 Arena in London this November alongside Rafael Nadal, while the likes of Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Andy Roddick are expected to join them. Last year’s winner Nikolay Davydenko is considered by many a dark hope for the year’s final Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows, and the title would secure his participation, but Juan Martin Del Potro’s wrist injury continues to trouble him.

Still, an additional allocation of tickets has been released for the prestigious tournament at the O2 Arena in London – and most evenings can currently be attended for £20.

Nadal won the French Open title at Roland Garros for the fifth time, and claimed his second Wimbledon title, but the US Open remains the only Grand Slam he is yet to win.

Furthermore, he has yet to triumph at the ATP World Tour Finals, and will surely look to rectify that this year at the O2 Arena in London.

ATP World Tour Finals tickets are currently trading for £20 on official ticket exchange partner Viagogo for multiple dates. Given that the top eight ranked players in the world qualify, fans can expect to see the likes of Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and last year’s champion Nikolay Davydenko join Rafa Nadal at the O2 this November.

It all takes place in the incredible setting of London O2 Arena, and the evening performances under the floodlights and roof of the amphitheatre make for a tremendous atmosphere indeed.

Although thousands of Barclays ATP World Tour Finals tickets have been sold, there are still tickets available to each match day – including the final.

Furthermore, the matches will start slightly earlier in the evening this year so that tennis fans can be certain of catching public transport home.

Last Friday, Shakira tickets went on sale for her performance at the London O2 Arena on December 20th 2010, with the rest of her UK tour dates going on sale at 09:00 this Friday 9th July 2010.

However, members of her fan club can buy tickets to certain concerts, so fans wishing to attend the Manchester MEN Arena, Belfast Odyssey Arena, Dublin O2 Arena and Glasgow SECC & Clyde Auditorium gigs can also find tickets now.

After all, Federer has been in the last seven Wimbledon finals. This is his earliest loss in the competition since 2002, and he will now drop to number 3 in the ATP World Rankings – his lowest position since 2003.

However, Berdych played tremendously and fully deserved his victory. There is now a Czech player in the semi-finals of both the ladies’ and men’s draws, though Petra Kvitová has a tough match against defending champion Serena Williams. Still, she can take inspiration from her compatriot’s shock victory yesterday.

Elsewhere yesterday, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray both came from a set down to defeat Robin Soderling and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga respectively, and will now meet in a tantalising semi-final tomorrow. Berdych will play Serbian tennis ace Novak Djokovic in the other semi-final, after the world number 3 beat Yen-Hsun Lu of Chinese Taipei in straight sets. Lu beat Andy Roddick in his previous match so could have been quite a banana skin for Djokovic, but the Serb played excellently to close out victory.

With neither Djokovic or Berdych having played in a Wimbledon final before, there will certainly be at least one new finalist at SW19 this year – and if Murray can overcome Nadal, there could be two. Naturally, excitement is building extremely fast as the competition reaches its latter stages, and many newspapers had pictures and headlines referring to Fred Perry this morning. Perry was of course the last British winner of the Wimbledon title back in 1936, but Murray seems wonderfully adept at ignoring the pressure heaped onto him by the UK media.

Last week there was a lot of coverage regarding the prices touts charged for Wimbledon tickets – especially if Murray was playing. A couple were widely reported to have bought tickets to last year’s semi-final between Murray and Roddick for £20,000. Given that currently debenture tickets are available from £1175, there are considerable savings to be made from the street prices.

Tsonga’s aggressive and powerful style enables him to hit winners from all over the court, and seems perfectly suited to grass. In most of Murray’s recent Grand Slam exits he has been blown off the court by powerful players hitting the ball with tremendous accuracy.

However, the Frenchman’s form can be erratic, and should Murray be able to frustrate him with his excellent variety of spin and pace, he could emerge victorious.

Still, Britain’s number one player is in exceptional form and will be confident, but could at least drop his first set of the tournament.

Rafael Nadal plays Robin Soderling on Court One today, and it could be a tense encounter. In 2007 the two played a lengthy match during which Soderling mocked Nadal’s habit of picking at his shorts, and the Spaniard won an ill-tempered affair. Last year, Soderling became the only player to have defeated Nadal at the French Open, and he is hitting the ball as well as anybody at Wimbledon.

It is an interesting match, and one that is extremely difficult to call. It is therefore clear why Wimbledon tickets are so sought after, and some Centre Court and Court One debenture tickets are yet to be sold.

The biggest shock yesterday was Andy Roddick’s loss to Yen-Hsun Lu of Chinese Taipei (formerly Taiwan). The American made it to last year’s final but did not take control of the game with either his serve or his forehand – usually his two finest assets.

After struggling in their first few matches to capture their very best form, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal won convincingly yesterday, and now look close to being back to their best.

On the women’s side, Kim Clijsters won the battle of Belgium as she came from one set down to defeat compatriot Justine Henin. After playing a fairly atrocious first set, Clijsters upped her game admirably to seal a victory, and interestingly Henin has not beaten her fellow Belgian since the pair emerged from retirement. Despite Clijsters’ excellent form, Venus and Serena Williams remain the favourites for the title.

Finally, Andy Murray continues his excellent form at Wimbledon 2010. He is the only player on the men’s side not to have dropped a set so far in the tournament, and overcame the winner of the AEGON Championships at Queens Club, Sam Querrey, with aplomb. Murray will next face the exciting Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the next round, and will hope to up his first serve percentage. The rest of the British number one’s game continues to fire nicely.

Wimbledon tickets are on sale for all the remaining matches, with debenture seats for Andy Murray’s quarter final match on Centre Court tomorrow on sale from a price of £1422, with semi-final and final tickets also available for both men’s and ladies’ sides of the draw – as well as the doubles.

Britain’s number one was unfazed. Murray gave a flawless performance, and played some scintillating tennis to win in straight sets. He will play Gilles Simon in the third round, after the Frenchman was awarded a walkover in his match.

In addition, John Isner and Nicolas Mahut finally finished their incredible record-breaking duel on Court 18. American giant Isner won the fifth set 70-68 – and naturally collapsed on the ground in a mix of incredulity and euphoria. Rafael Nadal suffered a scare when he was pushed to five sets by Robin Haase, but eventually came through to book a third round tie with Germany’s Philipp Petzschner.

Wimbledon tickets are on sale for all remaining days of the tournament, and with all the big guns still in the draw, crowds are sure to see some of the best players showcasing their skills.

Who knows – there could even be a British winner this year!

The 2008 Wimbledon men’s final between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal has been hailed as the greatest match of all time. 2009 saw an epic match between Andy Murray and Stanislas Wawrinka under the Centre Court roof that became the latest ever finish at Wimbledon, while the final saw Andy Roddick take on Federer. The American lost an epic fifth set 16-14 to finish runner up to the Swiss maestro, but in fact won more games than Federer overall – yet still ended up on the losing side.

This year the excitement has begun early. Roger Federer came back from two sets down to defeat the plucky Colombian Alejandro Falla, while Novak Djokovic and Taylor Dent broke last year’s record for the latest ever finish, as their five setter was decided at 22:58.

Still, the biggest drama was to be found on court 18. John Isner and Nicolas Mahut are still deadlocked in their first round match, and the battle will resume on a third day. The pair have broken multiple records in their incredible tussle, which was called to a halt at 59-59 in the fifth set due to bad light. At ten hours, it is the longest tennis match of all time, and indeed the fifth set of 118 games (so far) has lasted over seven hours!

Furthermore, both players have broken the record for the number of aces in a tennis match, which was previously held by Ivo Karlovic, who hit 78 in a Davis Cup tie for Croatia. Isner has 98, while Mahut has 95.

It is therefore no surprise that Wimbledon tickets continue to be so popular every year, but which player will win is anybody’s guess!

Elsewhere, British number one Andy Murray takes on Finland’s best tennis player Jarkko Nieminen in front of the Queen on Centre Court, so had better practise his bow! Caroline Wozniacki, Chang Kai-Chen, Rafael Nadal and Robin Haase will also perform in front of Britain’s monarch, making her first appearance at SW19 since 1977 – incidentally the last time a British player won the trophy!

McEnroe is now a regular on the seniors circuit and a media commentator, and having won seven majors in his stellar career is well placed to give advice to Murray. He believes the Scot should cut speed from his first serve in order to increase accuracy, for although when it fires it is a potent weapon, the percentage is lower than many of the other top players.

He told the Independent that national pressure from the British public is affecting Murray’s game; as is disappointment for not showing his best form in the Australian Open final in January. While Murray’s intense training  got him to a high of number 2 in the world, McEnroe indicated that better time management of his regime will prevent burnout. In the 2009 US Open, Murray appeared to be running on empty when he faced Croatian star Marin Cilic in the 4th round.

Finally, McEnroe hinted that he knew of a change in Murray’s court mentality. For a long time, Murray has played a counter-punching style; his movement and court artistry have long frustrated opponents into errors. McEnroe said he had heard of a move to a more aggressive game just inside the baseline – akin to Nikolay Davydenko, and this could prove a big step towards Andy Murray’s first Grand Slam title.

Wimbledon tickets are currently on sale for all courts on each day of the tournament, and having gone a round further each year he has played at SW19, Murray ought to be a certainty for the final. He will be seeded four for the biggest grass competition in tennis, meaning that he can only face Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal in the semi-final – should each of them get there.

Roger Federer lost only his second match on grass in seven years in the final of the Gerry Weber Open in Halle – going down in three sets to Australian former world number one Lleyton Hewitt.

In the AEGON Championships at Queens Club, Sam Querrey won an all-American final against Mardy Fish after the big names fell by the wayside early on. Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and Marin Cilic all lost far before anticipated, and will have to improve their grass court game with one week remaining until Wimbledon.

Wimbledon tickets are much sought after every year, and for those unwilling to gamble on their chances in the famous queue, over 1000 tickets are still on sale online.

The lowest priced are available for £330 from Seatwave for the first round, with prices rising to between £2809 and £4999 for Wimbledon men’s final tickets.

Which players will actually make it to the final though is anyone’s guess.

Wimbledon Men’s Final tickets are the most expensive at between £2445 and £4999, but because the previous two finals – Roger Federer against Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick respectively – have been heralded as the most breathtaking matches in tennis history, the price is little surprise.

Wimbledon Ladies’ Final tickets are substantially cheaper. Like Roger Federer, Venus and Serena Williams are viewed as two of the greatest players of all time, while Justine Henin reportedly came out of retirement purely because Wimbledon was the one Grand Slam missing from her glittering C.V. Even so, Wimbledon Ladies’ Final tickets are on sale between £669 and £3745.

Of course, earlier rounds are inevitably less expensive, and Wimbledon – like the World Cup and the Olympics – is one of those sporting events that everyone has to be part of once in their life.

Whether Murray enjoys a successful tournament or not, players of the calibre of world number one Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Roddick are certainly worth seeing, and Queens tickets are still on sale for all remaining days of the tournament – including the final.

There are over 500 Queens Final tickets available, with prices beginning at £104 from Ticketmaster subsidiary GetMeIn. Top of the range tickets are also on sale for £528 – also from GetMeIn – with an excellent view from the South Stand similar to that broadcast on television.

As the first British man to win at Queens Club since Bunny Austin in 1938, the whole country will hope that Andy Murray can equal Fred Perry’s feat from 1936 – and win Wimbledon.

Before that though, he has a trophy to defend.

Who would have expected Robin Söderling to beat Roger Federer in four sets – ending a 12-match losing streak against the Swiss maestro in the process?

Who would have expected Jurgen Melzer to make it to the semi-finals at Roland Garros, having never progressed beyond the third round of a Grand Slam before in his career?

It all bodes well for the next tournament on the grass courts of Queens Club.

The AEGON Championships will feature some of the very best players in men’s tennis in British number one Andy Murray, 2008 Wimbledon Champion – and new world number one – Rafael Nadal, American fast-server Andy Roddick and Serbian star Novak Djokovic. The 2010 AEGON Championships also includes Fernando Verdasco, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Marin Cilic – and the quality of tennis is certain to match what is probably its strongest ever line-up.

In 2009, Andy Murray became the first British winner of the competition since Bunny Austin in 1938, beating James Blake in the final. Although he had mixed success during the clay court season, he is a better prospect on grass, and could well retain his title.

With such a stellar field of players, tennis fans who can’t wait for Wimbledon will be delighted. Queens tickets are available from £75 from official Queens Club partner SeeTickets – with Queens Final tickets selling from £75.

It is no surprise, for both events are the very pinnacles of their respective sports of tennis and football, and are talked about for years to come. In fact, the last two Wimbledon men’s finals – featuring Rafael Nadal, Andy Roddick and Roger Federer (twice) – are often referred to as the greatest tennis matches in the history of the sport.

Still, as priceless as these occasions are, we do understand that you want to save as much money as you can for the privilege of attending, and so we’ve put together a little guide for you.

Wimbledon Men’s Final tickets are currently trading for as much as £4999, but you can be there for less than half that price: £2445.

There is similar value to be found on the Wimbledon Ladies’ Final. While the highest end tickets are currently on offer for £2322, using the Tixdaq price comparison service can save you £1653:

Wimbledon Ladies’ Final tickets can be bought for £669 – a saving of over 71%.

Don’t forget: if you’re looking further afield, tickets to some of the rest of the year’s tournaments can be found at the Tennis Tickets page.

Britain’s number one has progressed a round further than his previous attempt each year he has played at SW19, and so far this year has looked strongest in Grand Slam competitions.

Murray has just been knocked out of the French Open after a loss to Czech tennis ace Tomáš Berdych in the fourth round, but the Scot will always have a better chance on grass than on clay.

Wimbledon is the oldest and most celebrated tennis competition in the world. The hallowed grass courts of SW19 have been the host to many a classic encounter, and the quality of the game is at an all-time high. The chance to see some of these modern greats in the flesh is one that can hardly be missed.

Wimbledon tickets are notoriously valuable commodities, and one of the best ways to make your Wimbledon experience the fortnight of a lifetime is with some debenture tickets.

Debenture tickets are the very best on offer. They include a full day of tennis from the optimum views, with included access to the Debenture Lounge, bars restaurants and cloakroom – all within close proximity of the court.

In addition, the resale of debenture tickets are allowed, and there is actually good value to be found in this secondary market.

Debenture tickets for the Wimbledon Men’s Final on Centre Court are on sale through trusted seller Seatwave for £2445. Considering the last two Wimbledon finals between Roger Federer and his successive opponents Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick have been arguably the greatest matches in tennis history, this seems a brilliant price.

The added factor of there being a very real chance to see a first British men’s champion since 1936 makes for a stupendous atmosphere whenever Murray plays, for he is the best British hope in years with a shot of emulating the feats of the great Fred Perry.

The Wimbledon Ladies’ final on Centre Court also has fantastic deals available. Debenture tickets can be bought from Seatwave from £669 – a most reasonable price to see Justine Henin attempt to complete the career Grand Slam at SW19 against the Williams sisters and her compatriot Kim Clijsters.

In fact, across all rounds there are excellent bargains to be found – inevitably the cheap tickets are located in the earlier rounds:

In SW19, crowd pressure and mental fatigue appeared to get to Gasquet, but at Roland Garros, his loss was more down to physical condition.

Having played and won an exhausting final in Nice against Fernando Verdasco on Saturday, Gasquet looked in excellent form ahead of the French Open. However, with just a day between that match and his clash with Murray, he barely had any time to recover.

Despite playing excellently for the first two sets, with multiple winners from his beautiful backhand, he could not maintain his level, and the British number one lives to fight another day. He will next face Argentinian ace Juan Ignacio Chela, who he beat in last year’s tournament – as well as in the ATP Madrid Masters earlier this year.

Clay is not Murray’s favourite surface, but he did reach the quarter final in Paris last year. After the climax of the French Open, the grass court season begins, and the Scot will attempt to defend his title at the AEGON Championships at Queens in a top class field. Queens Club will host some of the very best in the game, including Murray, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Fernando Verdasco, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Marin Cilic.

In last year’s tournament at Roland Garros, Nadal suffered from acute tendinitis in both knees, and lost to an inspired performance from Robin Soderling. This year he is undefeated on clay and has won ATP Masters tournaments in both Monte Carlo and Rome.

He looks eager to claim back the French Open title after losing for the first time in Paris last year.

The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals is the fifth most prestigious world ranking tournament of the tennis season, and this year Novak Djokovic will be looking to defend his title against the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and of course, British hopeful Andy Murray.

Only the best eight singles players and best eight doubles teams of the year will qualify for the prestigious Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, so fans are guaranteed to witness only the most thrilling and competitive tennis.

After a year of struggling with knee injuries, the former world number one showed he is back to his best as he dropped only 14 games in five matches in Monte Carlo. The victory also served notice of Nadal’s intent to regain the French Open crown he surrendered to Roger Federer last year, after four straight titles.

The win also highlights Nadal’s potential for a second Wimbledon title, with the competition set to take place in June this year. Wimbledon tickets are available to compare and buy now here at Tixdaq.com.

The Spaniard will also be competing at Queen’s Club prior to the competition at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, and being in such devastating form, he will be more than hopeful of overcoming the likes of Roger Federer and Andy Murray and winning both tournaments here in the UK.

Just one month into 2010, Murray is undoubtedly having a record-breaking year. He is the first Briton to reach the last eight of the Australian Open since John Lloyd in 1977 and if he can continue this form, fans back home will be intrigued to see how he gets on later in the year – namely, Wimbledon 2010.

British tennis fans have watched the SW19 event down the years with hopes – however faint – of a Brit emerging victorious. Tim Henman could and should have won it but always failed at the final hurdle. Since Murray’s arrival on the scene, a fresh hope has arisen, one that has become more realistic with every passing year. With his fierce determination, a powerful serve and an almost unbeatable defence, Murray now has the tools to go on to claim what most consider as the biggest prize in tennis.  Wimbledon 2010 could be his time.

The 2010 Wimbledon tennis championships are just months away and fans will be pleased to hear that Wimbledon tickets are already available to buy from tixdaq.com. The tournament starts on the 21st of June and tickets start from £357.

Andy Murray beat Fernando Verdasco in an epic three set encounter, but that failed to secure him a place in the semi finals due to the fact that Juan Martin Del Potro beat the world number one, Roger Federer, 6-2. 6-7, 6-3 in what was one of the greatest matches of the tournament so far.

This means that Juan Martin Del Potro has booked himself a place in the semi finals at the O2 Arena on Saturday alongside the player he beat last night, Roger Federer.

Today’s matches see Rafael Nadal take on Novak Djokovic in the afternoon match followed by Nikolay Davydenko v Robin Soderling in the final.

Tixdaq can confirm that ATP World Tour Finals tickets are still available for both semi finals as well as the final on Sunday (November 29).

Last night, Nikolay Davydenko beat Rafael Nadal in straight sets at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London. In what was the second of yesterday’s matches at the O2 Arena, Nikolay Davydenko beat the world number two, Rafael Nadal, 6-1, 7-6 (7-5).

Rafael Nadal is now out of the 2009 ATP World Tour Masters having lost his opening match earlier this week against Robin Soderling. Reafael Nadal has really struggled to capture his past form this season and the two defeats at the ATP Masters Finals sums up his last twelve months.

Nikolay Davydenko goes in to the final day (November 27) of the round Robin stage of the tournament needing a win against Novak Djokovic. Djokovic is in a similar position having lost and won a game this week.

Today’s (November 26) matches see Andy Murray go head-to-head with Fernando Verdasco in the afternoon followed by Roger Federer taking on Juan Martin Del Potro in the evening. Both matches will no doubt be epic encounters as all four players are playing some of the best tennis of their lives. Juan Martin Del Potro is in particularly good form despite having lost against Andy Murray in the opening game of the 2009 ATP Masters Finals.

Tixdaq can confirm that ATP World Tour Finals tickets are still available for both semi finals as well as the final on Sunday (November 29).

Andrew Murray was all to aware of what had let him down against Roger Federer. Murray’s serving was well below his usual high standards last night and Roger Federer made sure he capitalised on Andy Murray’s poor form. Murray told SkySports: “I served so poorly that anyone would have looked good against me because you get a chance pretty much every single point.”

Andrew Murray and Roger Federer have now met four times this season, and they have each claimed two wins. Andrew Murray claimed victories in Indian Wells and Doha, while Roger Federer has won the two most recent matches at the Cincinnati Masters as well as last night’s victory.

The 2009 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals continues this afternoon. The first match of the day sees Novak Djokovic take on Robin Soderling which is followed by Rafael Nadal v Nikolay Davydenko.

The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals are proving to be hugely popular with British tennis fans and Tixdaq can confirm that tickets are still available for most of the remaining matches.

Rafael Nadal, who has had one of his worst season’s since joining the ATP tour was clearly no match for an in-form Robin Soderling who disposed of the former world number one in straight sets. Robin Soderling was not originally due to take part in the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, however, an injury to Andy Roddick meant that the number nine seed was called up to fill the empty spot.

The second of today’s singles matches sees Novak Djokovic take on Nikolay Davydenko. Novak Djokovic has been in fine form of late and he is the bookies’ favourite.

Tomorrow sees Juan Martin Del Potro v Fernando Verdasco  followed by Andy Murray taking on the world number one, Roger Federer.

Tixdaq can confirm that tickets are still available to all of the remaining days of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, including the final which is set to take place next Sunday (November 29).

It has recently been revealed that Andy Murray will be the first of the top seeds to take to the court at the London O2 Arena this Sunday (November 22). The fourth seed, Andy Murray, takes on the fifth seed, Juan Martin Del Potro, in the afternoon session of the opening day of the 2009 ATP World Tour Finals. The evening session sees the world number one, Roger Federer, take on Fernando Verdasco.

Gael Monfils played well on his home turf and it did look like there might have been an upset on the cards, but Djokovic battled back in the third set to win the tie-break and claim the BNP Paribas Masters title.

The ATP tournament which took place in Paris was the penultimate Masters championship of the 2009 season.

So far Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin Del Potro have all gained enough ATP points to qualify, but there are now only three places remaining.

If the current rankings stand, the three remaining spots will be filled by Andy Roddick, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Nikolay Davydenko, who are playing in this week’s Shanghai Masters hoping to secure their places.

However, also participating in the Shanghai Masters and still in with a chance of making the top eight are Fernando Verdasco, Gilles Simon, Robin Soderling and Fernando Gonzalez.

It seems the final line-up for the ATP World Tour Finals still hangs in the balance if the results so far in the Shanghai Masters are anything to go by.

Fernando Verdasco lost to Ivan Ljubicic 6-4, 7-6 (6) in the Shanghai Masters second round whilst Andy Roddick failed to make the third round after retiring with a left knee injury playing against Stanislas Wawrinka.

This could prove to be a huge disappointment for Fernando Verdasco as most players surrounding him in the rankings are through to the Shanghai Masters third round.

World number eight Nikolay Davydenko faces the number twelve Fernando Gonzalez in the third round, the world number ten Gilles Simon faces Tomas Berdych whilst the world number seven Jo-Wilfried Tsonga takes on the world number eleven Robin Soderling.

However, out of the running for Shanghai Masters victory is Juan Martin Del Potro after retiring in the second round with a right wrist injury against Jurgen Melzer. This could present a real opportunity to get some points on the board for those who really need it.

To do this, players will still have to contend with Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, who beat Fabio Fognini and James Blake respectively to advance to the Shanghai Masters third round.

You can catch all the action from the ATP World Tour Finals live from the London O2 Arena from November 22.

Andy Murray says that his past experiences has led him to think that there might be some surprise results as the US Open tournament progresses, meaning the draw could be blown wide open.

Speaking of the draw, Andy Murray could face the big server Ivo Karlovic in the US Open second round, and there are potential matches against the world number six Juan Martin del Potro and the world number three Rafael Nadal along the way.

Andy Murray also says that he is constantly trying to improve regardless of where he is in the rankings, and that this mentality was key to the success of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal over the years; the motivation to keep improving despite already being at the top of their game.

The world number one Roger Federer played his first round match against the wild card teenager Devin Britton in the opening day of the tournament, and Roger Federer took one hour and 28 minutes to kick start his US Open campaign winning 6-1, 6-3, 7-5.

The scoreline suggests that the defending champion had it all his way, but was made to work hard as the American Devin Britton did manage to break Roger Federer twice and nearly set up a tie break in the third set to please the home crowd.

After the match, Roger Federer admitted it was a tricky game as his opponent had nothing to lose, whilst he had to deal with the pressure of playing as a five-time defending champion. Next up for Roger Federer is Simon Greul.

Also through to the US Open second round are Andy Roddick and Nikolay Davydenko, both coming through in straight sets. The world number five Andy Roddick will face Marc Gicquel next whilst the world number eight Nikolay Davydenko will play against Jan Hernych.

Other top seeded players hoping to make it safely through to the US Open second round are Novak Djokovic, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Fernando Verdasco.

The world number four Novak Djokovic faces Ivan Ljubicic, world number seven Jo-Wilfried Tsonga faces Chase Buchanan, and the recent ATP 250 New Haven champion Fernando Verdasco faces Benjamin Becker. All these matches are scheduled to take place later today.

The US Open is taking place at the New York Flushing Meadows until September 13. However, not only are players hoping for success in this last Grand Slam of the year, but are hoping to qualify in the top eight to compete at the end-of-season Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, which takes place from November 22 at the London O2 Arena.

So far, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Andy Murray have qualified, so players will be hoping to rack up as many ATP points as they can from the upcoming ATP tournaments, including the US Open, in order to be in the top eight with the most ATP points.

Andy Murray will face Radek Stepanek in round three after beating Nicolas Almagro.

Andy Murray is on course to winning his second consecutive Masters series title with victory over Nicolas Almagro 7-6 (3), 6-2 in the second round of the Cincinnati Masters, overcoming a rain delay in the process.

Andy Murray, who will become the new world number two when the new ATP world rankings are announcd, beat Novak Djokovic in the 2008 Cincinnati Masters final to win his first ever ATP 1000 Masters series title.

Andy Murray has had little time to prepare having won the Montreal Masters, otherwise known as the Rogers Cup, last Sunday in three sets against Juan Martin Del Potro.

Winning the ATP 500 Washington title two weeks ago and then reaching the Rogers Cup final last week seems to have taken its toll on Juan Martin Del Potro.

The world number six has pulled out of the Cincinnati Masters due to fatigue, tournament organisers announced. Hopefully taking time out means Juan Martin Del Potro will feature in the upcoming Grand Slam: the US Open, which begins on August 31.

Andy Murray will now face Radek Stepanek in the third round of the Cincinnati Masters.

Andy Murray has complimented Radek Stepanek’s approach to games, describing him as a tricky player as he serves and volleys a lot.

Andy Murray claims that he will have to overcome any  mind games and return well in order to make it through to the Cincinnati Masters quarter finals.

Elsewhere in the tournament, world number one Roger Federer beat Jose Ascuso 6-3, 7-5 and David Ferrer awaits him in the third round.

Current world number two Rafael Nadal had to win two tie breaks 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3) to eventually beat Andreas Seppi and will face Paul-Henri Mathieu in round three.

World number four Novak Djokovic beat Ivan Ljubicic 7-5, 6-4 and will next face Jeremy Chardy.

However, there were defeats for world number five Andy Roddick and world number seven Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Andy Roddick lost 7-6 (11), 7-6 (3) to fellow American Sam Querrey, whilst Jo-Wilfried Tsonga lost 7-6 (12), 6-2 to qualifier Chris Guccione.

Not only are players gearing  towards the upcoming US Open, a place in the world’s top eight and qualification for the ATP World Tour Finals is at stake, the end-of-season tournament.

Andy Murray won his opening match of the Montreal Rogers Cup against Jeremy Chardy.

Andy Murray was back to winning ways in his first competitive match since Wimbledon at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Montreal, otherwise known as the Rogers Cup.

After receiving a bye in the first round, Andy Murray took one hour and 33 minutes to beat Jeremy Chardy 6-4, 6-2.

After the win, the world number three Andy Murray claimed that he needs to work on his match sharpness and wants a good run of games in this tournament especially as he has been in Miami to work on his game in the weeks leading up to the Rogers Cup.

He also admitted that the match was tougher than the scoreline suggests, claiming both players had their chances but Jeremy Chardy made a few more errors and Andy Murray was able to raise his game when needed.

Andy Murray will now face Gael Monfils or Juan Carlos Ferrero in the Montreal Rogers Cup third round.

Another top seed playing his first match of the tournament was world number one Roger Federer. A rain delay forced Roger Federer to wait for his return to tennis action since Wimbledon and had a tough time against his second round opponent Frederic Niemeyer.

Roger Federer came through winning 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 whilst Frederic Niemeyer, who is retiring at the end of the season, played with the spirit like he had nothing to lose and even saved three match points before Roger Federer eventually wrapped up the win.

Roger Federer reflected on his opening match, saying he was pleased with his performance as he played the big points well, especially as his opponent was playing in front of his home crowd.

Another player playing in front of his home crowd was Peter Polansky, who gave the world number four Novak Djokovic a run for his money in the second round of the Montreal Rogers Cup.

Novak Djokovic looked far from his best as he beat Peter Polansky 6-4, 7-6 (8-6) and will face either Mikhail Youzhny (who beat the 14th seed Marin Cilic) or John Isner in the ATP Montreal Masters third round.

Scheduled to play later today are the world number six Juan Martin Del Potro against Jan Hernych, world number five Andy Roddick against Igor Andreev, and the world number two Rafael Nadal against David Ferrer.

As the tennis season draws to a close, the world’s top eight players will battle it out to be the champion of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, which takes place at the London O2 Arena from November 22.

Andy Murray will start his Rogers Cup campaign in Montreal later today against Jeremy Chardy

Andy Murray returns to action since Wimbledon for the second round of the Montreal Rogers Cup, an ATP 1000 Masters event with 1000 ATP points up for grabs.

Andy Murray has recently been preparing for the Rogers Cup in the heat of Miami and after receiving a bye in the first round, will face Jeremy Chardy in the second round scheduled to play later today.

The Rogers Cup also sees the return of Rafael Nadal, who missed the entire Wimbledon Grand Slam earlier this year due to tendinitis in his knees. His return got off to a good start with a doubles win with partner Francisco Roig against Novak Djokovic and partner Dusan Vemic.

All the top names in men’s tennis are competing in the Montreal Rogers Cup in preparation for the final Grand Slam of the season: the US Open.

British number one Andy Murray is in the same half of the draw as the world number one Roger Federer, and so if the two were to meet it would be at the semi-final stage.

World number two Rafael Nadal is in the same half of the draw as the number four seed Novak Djokovic, number six seed Andy Roddick, and the recent Washington Legg Mason Classic champion Juan Martin Del Potro.

Rafael Nadal has admitted that retaining the Montreal Rogers Cup title was not on the cards because of his lack of practice, and that his main focus was to work hard and try not to suffer any more injury setbacks. He says that he was aware he was going to Montreal to lose, and that winning was almost impossible.

Also suffering from lack of match practice was Roger Federer, who is returning to action since the birth of his twin daughters three weeks ago.

As well as Andy Murray, other top seeds scheduled to play later today include Roger Federer against Frederic Niemeyer, Novak Djokovic takes on Peter Polansky, and the world number eight Nikolay Davydenko against Paul-Henri Mathieu.

So far at the Montreal Rogers Cup, the first shock result was the 14th seed Marin Cilic losing to Mikhail Youzhny 4-6, 7-6, 6-1 despite winning the first set.

Players on the cusp of qualifying for the end-of-year Barclays ATP World Tour Finals include 9th seed Gilles Simon, 10th seed Fernando Gonzalez and 11th seed Fernando Verdasco.

Only the top eight players can compete at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals and so they hope to play as well as possible at the Montreal Rogers Cup to gain as many ATP points as possible for a place in the top eight.

British number one Andy Murray will face 76th seed Robert Kendrick for his first round match later today on Centre Court at the All England Club.

Andy Murray will be one of the last of the top seeds to play their first round match and would have already seen many of the top seeds cruising into the second round of Wimbledon.

Last year’s finalist Roger Federer, who lost his Wimbledon crown to Rafael Nadal (who had to withdraw this year through injury), beat Yen-Hsun Lu 7-5, 6-3, 6-2, playing in the first competitive match at the new Centre Court featuring the new roof.

Roger Federer will now face Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the second round.

Also through to the second round is world number four Novak Djokovic despite losing the first set, eventually beating Julien Benneteau 6-7, 7-6, 6-2, 6-4. Novak Djokovic faces Simon Greul next.

World number seven Fernando Verdasco beat James Ward 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 and will face Kristof Vliegen in the Wimbledon second round.

Earlier today, the number five seed Juan Martin Del Potro beat Arnaud Clement 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 and is now due to take on former Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt in the second round.

The biggest shock of the tournament so far was the first round loss for world number 17 James Blake.

James Blake reached the final of the Wimbledon warm-up tournament the AEGON Championships before losing to Andy Murray, but despite having plenty of practise playing grass-court tennis, he was beaten 7-5, 6-4, 7-6 by Andreas Seppi.

The 2009 Wimbledon tennis championships is in full swing now and fans will be pleased to hear that also in London in November 2009 will be the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, which is being held at the London O2 Arena.

At the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, the top eight players will compete to become champion in this end-of-season tournament.

Rafael Nadal might be fit for an exhibition match at the London Hurlingham Club in preparation for Wimbledon

Rafael Nadal has been invited to play at a tennis exhibition tournament at the London Hurlingham Club as a warm-up to the 2009 Wimbledon Championships.

World number one Rafael Nadal describes the event at the London Hurlingham Club as an opportunity to test out his troubled knees, as well as getting some grass-court practise before the 2009 Wimbledon Championships.

However, Rafael Nadal has been out of action since his fourth round French Open exit at Rolland Garros.

Rafael Nadal was recently scheduled to defend his Queen’s Club title at the AEGON Championships in London but was forced to pull out with injury.

The winner of the AEGON Championships was number three seed Andy Murray, who never lost a set throughout the tournament and should be in confident mood with the 2009 Wimbledon Championships less than a week away.

Rafael Nadal hopes to overcome his injury worries and play at the London Hurlingham Club this Friday against the world number 18 Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland.

With Andy Murray and recent French Open winner Roger Federer hot on his heels, Rafael Nadal hopes to prove he is ready to defend his Wimbledon crown.

The 2009 Wimbledon tennis championships gets underway from Monday June 22.
