The traditional end of season tennis jamboree takes place from the 22^nd until the 28^th November 2009 at the O2 Arena in London, and it is, of course, the ATP World Tour Finals. You can see every point gained, set won and matches decided by joining us here at watchlivetennis.org and enjoying all the live action.

In a nutshell, the ATP World Tour Finals is a tennis tournament that is played at the end of each year and the players participating are the current top eight players in the world rankings. Where this tournament differs from the others on the tour is the fact that this is not a straightforward knock out competition. The eight participating players are separated into two groups of four and then partake in a round robin three games against the other three in the group. The two players who finish top of each group, i.e. the two players with the best records from each group, will progress through to the semi finals, with the winners of those meeting in the final on 28^th November.

There is also a doubles competition that runs side by side with the singles, again meeting the same criteria, i.e. the eight best double’s partnerships from the season, separated into two groups of four and then the best two teams of each group progressing to the semi’s.

The eight singles players qualified for this season’s tournament are, in order of their world rankings, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Juan Martin Del Potro, Nikolay Davydenko, Fernando Verdasco and Robin Soderling (Robin Soderling replaces world number six Andy Roddick who has pulled out due to injury). The Group A line-up is Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Juan martin Del Potro and Fernando Verdasco, and Group B is Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Nikolay Davydenko and Robin Soderling.
