Federer thrashes Nadal at the O2

Former world number one, Roger Federer, put on a masterclass display before tennis fans at the ATP World Tour Finals last night.

Federer swept long time rival Rafael Nadal aside 6-3 6-0 in ruthless style to continue his 100% record against the Spaniard on indoor surfaces.

What was expected to be one of the tightest matches of the end of season championship became a tour de force for the Swiss maestro, dispatching his opponent in just one hour and giving the O2 it’s earliest finish since the tournament began on Sunday.

Nadal, who suffered a bout of sickness in his previous match, is not out yet though and will play his last group match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Thursday evening.

Earlier in the day it was announced that home-favourite Andy Murray was pulling out of the tournament after suffering a groin strain. His place will be taken by Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia who plays his first match later today, against Tomas Berdych.
