Favorites to Claim Top Prize
Rafael Nadal
Rafael Nadal has secured the world No. 1 ranking for 2013, but he won't be content to leave London without his first-ever year-end championship.
It's been an unimaginable comeback for the 27-year-old Spaniard, who has won 10 titles since February, including two Grand Slam championships. But don't expect Nadal to cruise to the title in London this weekend. After all, he's been beaten in his previous three tournaments since winning the U.S. Open in September.
With two impressive straight-sets win already under his belt in Group A, Nadal has secured a berth in Sunday's semifinals and will be favored to reach the tournament final assuming he matches up against anyone but the next favorite.
Novak Djokovic
Two-time year-end champion Novak Djokovic may have had his No. 1 ranking stripped from him, but he's proven once again this fall that he's the cream of the crop when it comes to hard-court domination.
The Serb brings a 17-match winning streak into this year's ATP World Tour Finals and appears to be a lock for the semifinals. His victory over Roger Federer in the two men's Group B opener only reestablishes him as the man to beat in that section of round-robin play.
There isn't a better returner in men's tennis, and that's what makes Djokovic so special on this stage. His unrivaled flexibility and much-improved fight make him a nightmare to play against on any surface, but when Djokovic is firing on all cylinders like he is now, he's almost untouchable at hard-court events.
Having won this tournament two out of the past five years, including in 2012, many would consider Djokovic the favorite to claim the most prize money this November.
