The APT World Tour starts in the O2 arena today, this is the last tennis tournament of the season and features the top eight singles players and doubles teams.

The first match up this afternoon is Federer v Tsonga and the evening match is Nadal v Fish.

Should be some good tennis played through the week.

I think that he and Berdych kind of quietly sneaked up the rankings without too many people noticing.

It's probably cause all the focus on mens tennis is on the top 4.

Federer beats Tsonga 2 sets to 1 (6-4; 2-6; 6-4) good start in the defence of the title he won last year.

Andy Murray lost last night and may have to pull out with a groin injury Djokovic won a tough match in three sets.

[Grumpy Old Man]

Watched the Murray match yesterday and he didn't seem to be moving around too freely, think he may struggle to play all three matches in the group unless he makes a very quick recovery.

Andy could be best served by putting the tools away and get 100% fit for Melbourne in January as along with Flushing meadow would seem the most likey venue of any grand slam victory,which one would think would be his main aim.

[Grumpy Old Man]

It's been confirmed that Murray has pulled out of the competition due to the groin injury suffered in yesterdays match against Ferrer.

[Grumpy Old Man]

Federer takes the first set against Tsonga 6-3 with some great tennis getting played.

[Goanjock]

It has been a cracking match......Federer just failed to serve out for the match

[jaybee1978]

I only turned it on during game Federer broke in 2nd set. It's been good since then.

[Goanjock]

It's looking like Federer is going to take the tie break

[Goanjock]

or maybe not 5-5

[Goanjock]

first match point saved back to 6-6

[Goanjock]

1 set all......get in there

[Grumpy Old Man]

Federer Takes the title 2-1 good to see him lift another trophy.
