ATP World Tour Finals update.

All the players have played in their first matchup.  Everything is going pretty much as expected with the exception of one upset:

Group A-

Roger Federer defeated Fernando Verdasco, and Andy Murray beat Juan Martin Del Potro in a tough 3-set match.

The group standings look like this:

Roger Federer   1-0

Andy Murray    1-0

Juan Martin Del Potro  0-1

Fernando Verdasco     0-1

Group B-

Rafael Nadal and Robin Soderling continued their rivalry.  It is well known that these 2 guys don't like eachother.  Actually I can't think of a guy that Soderling does like.  He goes by the philosophy of:  "The less people that like me, the more people I don't have to talk to in the locker room".  Well Soderling just like he did in Paris at the French Open beat Nadal 6-4, 6-4.  Also Novak Djokovic stole the match between him and Nikolay Davydenko.  Davydenko won the first set and was up a break in the 2nd and was looking to close out the match when Djokovic fought and broke back to force the match to a deciding 3rd set.  Djokovic got an early break and was leading the whole 3rd set until late when Davydenko broke back to make it 5-5.  Djokovic then quickly broke and served out the victory at 7-5 in the 3rd.

Standings:

Novak Djokovic   1-0

Robin Soderling    1-0

Rafael Nadal         0-1

Nikolay Davydenko   0-1
