have both donned regulation grey Adidas shirts this week but their technicolour games will light up the O2 Arena in the ATP Finals climax on Sunday.clipsed six-times champion Roger Federer 6-3 6-4 and Austrian Thiem dispatched defending champion Alexander Zverev 7-5 6-3.
It takes some self-belief to stand toe-to-toe with Federer on one of his favourite courts and in front of 17,500 fans who were mainly there to cheer the Swiss great.Having got ahead he soaked up everything Federer threw at him and returned it with interest. “I’m frustrated I couldn’t play better, and when I did and fought my way back, I threw it away again,” Federer, who never scaled the heights he reached when beating Djokovic, said.
Remarkably, Federer was in his 16th semi-final in 17 appearances at the ATP’s exclusive year-ender but he began like the nervous newcomer.He had a break point in the opening game but spooned a forehand long off a second serve, then in the next game botched two smashes and Tsitsipas seized the early break.“I think getting broken with missing two smashes in one game, that hasn’t in a long, long time or ever,” he said.
Federer had another break point which Tsitsipas yanked away with a courageous drive volley winner. Tsitsipas then had six set points repelled before bagging the opener on his seventh set point as Federer netted a forehand.
