Barclays ATP World Tour Finals 2016

So, the two newbies La Monf and Thiem do not make it to SF. That leads to the trivia question who was the last newbie who made it to SF in their debut at WTF.

Just a guess; since Stan such a mediocre player and hanging outside the 10 top or so until the last several years, I put my poker chips on him losing a heartbreaker to his nemesis, Roger Federer a couple years ago! uzzled :nono :angel:

Off the top of my head, I think Stan did it in 2013, not 2014 which Fiero is refering to. If you want another one before that, I think Andy did it in 2008, but I am not sure.

OTTH, I think Stan did it in '13, not '14 which Fiero is referring to. If you want another one before that, I think Andy did it in '08, but I'm not sure.

I think you're right; the year before Stan lost to Nole in the semi! Thanks for the correction! :angel: :dodgy: :clap

Wawrinka seems to be in the zone. It will be a good match I guess.

Wawrinka should stop thinking about winning this in straights. Its messing up with his mind. Should stick to basic now and just try Win the match like any regular match.

Wawrinka fighting hard to hold serve.

Murray to serve for the first set at 5-4. The only good thing for wawrinka about winning in straights is it will make it compulsory for nishikori to do the same. Or how does it work?

Nope! Stan's just making errors on Murray's junk defense! Down 2 breaks in the 2nd! uzzled :nono :cover

Murray with the double break. I think we have the semifinalists now.

One good point does not a challenge make, but we'll see! uzzled :nono :angel: :cover

Not stan's day at all.

A Murray Novak final will be so fitting. Murray hasn't won a thing against Novak. So, the match might reveal something.

I wonder how stan will play next year. He will have to face the same set of players. Grass is not his thing so he will go for the same things again. Interesting.

That summed up the day.

So that's all stan had to show today. Djokovic beware. Murray seems good.
