Can Novak Djokovic be stopped?
Not only has the World No. 1 captured three of four majors and six of nine Masters 1000 events in 2015, but he’s also the three-time defending champion at the ATP World Tour Finals. At a time when there is so much talent throughout the Tour, Djokovic has still managed to transcend his competition.
So, when the best of the best gather in London for the World Tour Finals, Djokovic will surely be the favorite to again take home the crown. Nevertheless, with Roger Federer–his biggest adversary in 2015–in the same round-robin group, and three stars in Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka and Rafael Nadal potentially awaiting him in the semis, we’re in store for a scintillating competition.
Here’s a complete look at the schedule, results and round-robin standings for the singles draw:
