ATP World Tour Finals | Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer placed in opposite groups

Nadal’s arch nemesis, 19-time Grand slam champion, Federer, has been drawn in Group Boris Becker with Alexander Zverev, Marin Cilic, and Jack Sock. The Swiss will try to capture his seventh year-end title (2003-04, 2006-07, 2010-11). Recently, to keep himself fit for London, the Shanghai Masters champion Federer pulled out of the Paris Masters. 

Eight different countries are represented in the eight-man singles tournament for the second consecutive year, with Group Pete Sampras matches scheduled to begin on November 12. Group Boris Becker matches will begin on the next day, on November 13. The groups are named after two Pete Sampras, who had won the 1991, 1994, 1996-97, 1999 season finale crowns, and Boris Becker, who had won the 1988, 1992, 1995 titles.
