LONDON (AP) β Two-time defending champion Novak Djokovic has been handed a favorable draw at the ATP Finals, while Roger Federer and Andy Murray will meet in the round-robin phase.
The top-seeded Djokovic, who won his 20th Masters title in Paris on Sunday, was placed in the same group with Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka, U.S. Open winner Marin Cilic and Tomas Berdych for the season-ending, eight-man tournament, which starts on Sunday in London.
Federer, meanwhile, is in Group B along with Murray and newcomers Kei Nishikori and Milos Raonic.
Djokovic, this year’s Wimbledon champion, is unbeaten on indoors courts the past two years and is vying with Federer for the year-end No. 1 ranking.
Rafael Nadal is skipping the tournament because of appendicitis.
