Tennis: Djokovic beats Nadal, advances to final at ATP finals
Published in Ahram Online on 21 - 11 - 2015

Novak Djokovic is back in the final of the season-ending ATP finals.
The top-ranked Serb beat Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-3 Saturday at the O2 Arena, putting him one win away from a fourth straight title at the tournament for the top eight players in the world.
Djokovic will face either six-time champion Roger Federer or Stan Wawrinka in Sunday's final. The Swiss pair will play in Saturday's late match.
Djokovic was strong when he had the ball, losing only seven points on his serve in the first set and three in the second. He was also good enough when he needed to be on the receiving end, converting three of his five break points.
The win evened the head-to-record between the two players to 23-23, the first time Djokovic has managed to get level since the rivalry started in 2006. Their 46 meetings are the most between two players in the Open era.
This year it has been all Djokovic, who now has four straight victories over Nadal in nine straight sets. The run includes a quarterfinal victory at this year's French Open, the clay-court major that Nadal has won a record nine times.
Djokovic, who won three Grand Slam titles this year and reached the final at the other, is close to setting his own record at the ATP finals. With another victory on Sunday he would become the first player to win the season-ending tournament four times in a row.
