The draw for next week's ATP World Tour Finals was announced on Tuesday morning, with the eight qualifying players getting divided into two round-robin groups. By virtue of the draw, fans will be treated to three Grand Slam final rematches in the opening days of the tournament.
In Group A, Rafael Nadal will face Novak Djokovic in a replay of September's U.S. Open final. Rafa will also see Tomas Berdych, the man he defeated to win Wimbledon, during the round robin. In Group B, Roger Federer will continue his rivalry with hometown favorite Andy Murray. Federer defeated the Brit in the finals of the Australian Open in February, but lost his next two matches to Murray. In their careers, Murray holds an 8-5 overall lead.
Each player in the group will play one another, with the top two players in each advancing to the semifinals.
The groupings:
Group A
Rafael Nadal
Novak Djokovic
Tomas Berdych
Group B
Roger Federer
Andy Murray
