Novak plays for semis, Janko for Maldives
A great day for the Serbian tennis. Two of the nation’s top male tennis players, Novak Djokovic and Janko Tipsarevic, take on each other for the first time ever today, 3 pm, at the ATP World Tour Finals in London. Janko stands no chances of reaching the semi-finals and has already begun making holiday plans for his wife Biljana and himself, who will be joined by Novak himself and his girlfriend Jelena in Maldives. Unlike his competitively motiveless compatriot, Djokovic is still very much in contention for the semi-finals of the season-ending ATP event.
After the defeat to David Ferrer, the most Djokovic can achieve in group A is the runner-up place, and this will come only if Novak manages to beat Tipsarevic, while Ferrer wins his match against Tomas Berdych. The Spaniard has already sealed his place in the semis with two wins under his belt and can afford to lose the final match of the round-robin stage if he manages to win a set against Berdych. As for Novak, he too can still qualify even if he loses to Tipsarevic, but only if Ferrer beats his final opponent. As the season draws to a close, the cream of men’s tennis will use the opportunity to be united and lobby for a change in the ATP Tour competition calendar as of next season, as confirmed by Novak Djokovic.- http://english.blic.rs
