The world’s best tennis players return to Greenwich this November as the O2 arena stages the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals for a second time.

The tournament pits the top eight men from the last year against each other in an exciting ’round robin’ format. The Finals run from November 21st through to November 28th, with an afternoon and evening session each day. As well as the singles competition, there’s also doubles action every day too.

Last year, the cool-as-a-cucumber Russian, Nikolay Davydenko, took the spoils but he’s unlikely to be a contender this year.

I went along last year and had a great time – there was a great sense of razzmatazz, probably a world away from the more formal approach at the Wimbledon’s All England Club, and even from the cheap seats high in the rafters of the O2, it was possible to get a decent view of the play.

The world’s best tennis players will be at the O2 in North Greenwich for the finals of the Barclays ATP World Tour this November.

The top 8 players take part a round robin format which guarantees 3 matches each before progressing to the semi final and then the final. The players who have so far qualified for the event are Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin Del Potro, who last week stormed to victory at the US Open.

Formerly known as the Tennis Masters Cup, the ATP World Tour Finals will be held at the O2 in North Greenwich from 2009 to 2012.

The 2009 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals are taking place between November 22 – 29 –
