LONDON: Britain’s Andy Murray joined world number one Novak Djokovic and newly-crowned US Open champion Rafa Nadal as definite qualifiers for the ATP World Tour finals yesterday but Roger Federer faces a battle to make the eight-man field.
Despite falling at the quarter-final stage in his defence of the US Open last week, Murray is third in the race to London and guaranteed a spot.
Federer has been an ever-present at the Tour finals since 2002, is at risk of missing out this time.
The Swiss is seventh on the Race to London rankings, just 130 points ahead of compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka and Frenchman Richard Gasquet also closing in. REUTERS
