Former titlist and 2012 year-end World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will meet Andy Murray in round-robin play at this year’s Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, which begins at The O2 in London on 5 November. Today’s draw ceremony also pitted six-time winner and defending champion Roger Federer with Juan Martin del Potro in Group B.
Djokovic, who has secured the year-end No. 1 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings for a second successive year, will renew his rivalry with Murray, who beat the Serbian en route to the gold medal at the London Olympics in August and for his first Grand Slam championship title at the US Open in September. Djokovic defeated Murray at the last month's Shanghai Rolex Masters final and has a 9-7 lead in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series. They will face Tomas Berdych and last year’s runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Group A.
Federer, who won the season-ending championship title in 2003-04, 2006-07 and 2010-11, will look to avenge his recent Swiss Indoors Basel final defeat against del Potro. Federer has a 13-3 lead over Del Potro, who is making his first appearance at The O2 since a 2009 runner-up finish. They are joined in Group B by 2007 finalist David Ferrer and Janko Tipsarevic.
