Grigor Dimitrov outplays David Goffin to claim maiden World Tour Finals title

While Dimitrov came into the final after dropping just two sets in four matches, Goffin had beaten both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer on his way to the last match of the tournament. While it was Dimitrov, who looked like the heavy favourite coming into the match, all preconceived notions were shattered quite early as Goffin broke the World No. 6 in the very first game of the match.

The third set started off with “Baby Federer” having to save four break points in a 15 point game before taking a 1- 0 lead in the decider. It appeared that all the momentum that Dimitrov had built en route to the final had disappeared as Goffin grew into the game. But as the decider went on Dimitrov started playing the kind of tennis that had made him a favourite for the title in London. He got the break he was looking for in the sixth game of the match, and even though Goffin saved four match points, three on his own serve, Dimitrov secured the Finals by winning the decider 6-3.
