World Tour Finals Open Thread

WTF?

I caught some of the opening singles match today between Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. It was a see-saw affair until the final game of the match when Tsonga left the stadium. The advantage of serving first in the final set served Raja well.

Now, I'm glimpsing points between Rafael Nadal and Mardy Fish. The American just saved a few match points on serve, a game behind in the second set. Will he go the way of Tsonga or will Rafa get rattled by failing to convert match points? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

The group on the court today is considered the tougher of the two. Tomorrow, the Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, David Ferrer, and Tomas Berdych group will commence play.

I alluded to it in a comment, but I'll repeat it here: this event is Raja's to lose.

Enjoy the second-to-last event of the tennis calendar for the men.
