world number one rafa nadal admits he simply wasn't good enough after losing his opening match at the end of season world tour finals in london. his 6—2, 6—4 loss to defending champion alexander zverev was his first since a two month layoff — but he refused to blame any physical limitations as zverev brushed him aside in their opening group game. stefanos tsitsipas was also a winner on monday. paul frostick has the best of the action. raphael nadal is the world's number one men's tennis player but the atp final is one where he not reach the summit. no doubt he is one of the best layers of all time but a new breed of talent is on its way through.

if battling rafa nadal yesterday wasn't impressive enough, for stefanos tsitsipas it was only the warm up. next up, roger federer, a man who has done it all before — perhaps the greatest of all time. but even the greats still feel the pressure. after a near three—hour battle with nadal, anyone would be forgiven for feeling the strain, but tsitsipas was on top his game. the greek at his powerful and clinical best and eventually after the seventh time of asking he took the set. when federer won his first grand slam title, stefanos tsitsipas hadn't started school yet. with 17 years between them, the greek quick to use age to his advantage, forcing federer around the court and forcing the mistake. the frustration clear to see. he was ahead by a double break at one point but still federer fought back, holding his serve when it mattered most. but by then, the damage was already done. match point taken at the first time of asking. commentator: that's a brilliant performance. federer heading home. tsitsipas couldn't quite believe it. as a kid watching, i would watch him. and i would dream

world number one rafa nadal admits he simply wasn't good enough after losing his opening match at the end of season world tour finals in london. his 6—2, 6—4 loss to defending champion alexander zverev was his first since a two month layoff — but he refused to blame any physical limitations as zverev brushed him aside in their opening group game. stefanos tsitsipas was also a winner on monday. paul frostick has the best of the action. raphael nadal is the world's number one men's tennis player but the atp final is one where he not reach the summit. no doubt he is one of the best layers of all time but a new breed of talent is on its way through. germany's alexander zverev, one of the challenges. his first set performance was strong, taking the spaniard down 6—2. after that it was a tighter affair but the german held his nerve in front of the big crowd to seal it. just the one break needed insert to for the victory. the atmosphere is the reason why everybody is trying to, the goal of the give beginning of the season is to make london because playing here, playing in front of al

alexander's is have conquered rafa nadal. for those who have stood so long at the summit, there is a feeling something is happening beneath them. i look at the list of who is world number one and who it has been for years and it's crazy it's always one of us. but we're not younger. chances increase, not because we are getting worse but because we are getting worse but because the younger ones are getting better. novak djokovic and natal both won two each this year. one of the three of them have won 25 out of the three of them have won 25 out of the last 32 of them. they make up the last 32 of them. they make up the top three in the world rankings. so how much can be read into one week in london? we still have the big three. they didn't really deliver this week. it's exciting because the next generation of been banging on the door. to see tsitsipas get the biggest title of his career, it's very exciting. tsitsipas will know this event has not already —— not always been a good predictor of what will follow, none of the thre

however djokovic will be replaced as world number one by rafa nadal on monday, though despite this victory, britain's rory mcilroy has won the wgc—hsbc champions tournament in shanghai. he had to do it the hard way, though, beating defending champion xander shouffler in a playoff after the pair were tied at 19 under par after four rounds. mciroy had this chance to win it on the 18th, but he missed the 25—footer to take an outright victory at sheshan international. the 4—time major winner dusting himself off though in the first playoff hole, this birdie giving him the win over his american opponent. it was mcilroy‘s fourth title of the year, and his third victory at the world golf championship. geoffrey kamworor has won the men's race in the new york marathon for the second time in three years. the kenyan crossed the finish line in central park on sunday in a time of 2 hours, 8 minutes and 13 seconds. he pulled away from compatriot albert korir in the 24th mile. girma bekele gebre of ethiopia was third, the defending men's champion lelisa desisa dropped out after seven miles. you ca

djokovic going out means rafa nadal will end the year as world number one and it'll either be nadal or stefanos tsitsipas that awaits federer in the last four. great openers fear, a great opponent. here in london at the 02, definitely incredibly special. just a note, i enjoyed it from the beginning, i played incredible and i knew i had to, because that is what novak does. and i was able to produce. there was definitely magical and you guys made it special. thank you. i cannot thank you and i. there was not much that i did write this match, to be honest. realistically, but i was a better player in all aspects —— futter, and absolutely deserved to win. he served great and returned may serve very well —— federer. so from his andl very well —— federer. so from his and i think you did everything right. from maya and ijust, you know, i wasjust playing right. from maya and ijust, you know, i was just playing to right. from maya and ijust, you know, i wasjust playing to neutral. i couldn't read his serve well and just a pretty bad match for my side. meanwhile dominic thiem, who was

all that action only took place after this opening ceremony in madrid, with rafa nadal taking part for the hosts spain. it's the first year the davis cup is seeing this format, with 18 countries split into six groups of three, with the group winners and two best placed runners up into the knockout stage. great britain's andy murray says he'll only give his thoughts on the revamp once the tournament's over. for years, men's tennis has been dominated by federer, nadal, and djokovic, with andy murray getting a look in for a while too, but could a new generation of younger players finally be set to topple the old guard? in london on sunday night, 21—year—old stefanos tsitsipas beat dominic thiem to become the youngest winner of the season finale since 2001. now the question is, will that translate into grand slam titles in 2020? patrick gearey reports. perhaps finally, the future is here. stefa nos perhaps finally, the future is here. stefanos tsitsipas, final champion, 21 stop in the face of tomorrow's world, generation of young men expected to take over from men's tennis‘s old mast

so, the defending champion zverev is through but it means that world number one rafa nadal has to go home despite coming back to beat stefanos tsitsipas earlier today. patrick gearey was watching that one. this was tennis‘s generation game. two men from two eras for stiff unassisted posse, the face of tomorrow. the rainy regime of ruffin at tao and co. have proven so difficult to overthrow. they make it ha rd to battle. difficult to overthrow. they make it hard to battle. if you aussie was out, jeopardy fuelled relentless energy. tsitsitpas in contrast could play in comfort. already in the semi is, he played archly when necessary. over 12 games and a tie—break he traded shot for shot and in the key moment produced one without answer. first sent to the future. if you needed notice of nadal‘s reaction, this was how he returned to it —— from a toilet break. wait the security guards tsitsitpas was doing all he could to keep up. nadal has i9 all he could to keep up. nadal has 19 grand slams and an olympic gold medal. his body has been broken and repaired, he has done it all and

we'll start with the late drama at the atp finals in london where the world number one rafa nadal pulled off a sensational comeback against daniil medvedev to keep alive his hopes of reaching the semifinals. his trademark fighting spirit on show again as he saved match point when he was 5—1 down in the deciding set to win. adam wild reports. from spain, rafael nadal! here was the world number one once more under the world number one once more under the spotlight. his meek opening debate led many to question his performance. now it was daniil medvedev‘s turn to askjust what performance. now it was daniil medvedev‘s turn to ask just what the spaniard had left. this was his first answer. the dial seen once more determined, showing modified. medvedev is part of the new generation looking to see the old guard. here he was with plenty of his own replies, taking the first set on a tie—break. the dial had come to london recovering from an abdominal injury. did he really have the stomach for this? the second set showed he had all that was required. medvedev misplacing a forehand and the m

so rafa nadal plays his first match tonight, yesterday there was a win for novak djokovic and a defeat for roger federer. the big three, with 55 grand slam titles between them, still the main draw after so many years at the top. sally nugent spoke to all of them last night. all of them last week. it's either all of us stop or none of us stop. i am going to be the first to go, i am the oldest year. but i think it will be interesting. we are not sure how much there is left, but i think the best thing here is that we have all enjoyed ourselves on the chair in general. i think it is a privilege that we are still so healthy and doing so well and being so successful. how mentally tough is it to keep going? it's an individual sport, is you cannot rely on anybody on court. you are kind of having to take the responsibility and really able to sustain the wear and tear on the body and on the mind. andy murray, can you believe he is even back on a court and what is your message to him at? what he showed to everyone as his passion and love for the that he went through, he is able to win again and i

but hopefully as well a lot of fun and good success rafa nadal are representing spain of course will back in october 28th scene it was announced the new format of the one week torment featuring 18 teams the countries will compete in 6 groups of 3 teams each time will consist of 2 singles and one doubles match on all the matches are best of 3 instead of best of 5 sets and the 6 group winners plus the 2 best 2nd place teams will qualify for the quarter finals but not everybody is happy with the new formats. i make no secret. 2 of the biggest points of difference with davis cup and what the competition was about was one home in a why. you couldn't do that in any other format of tennis and great down and if you look at the pinnacle of our game the grand slams the best of 5 set so that was the other point of difference and so for me. this is a new format al boys get the opportunity to wear the green and gold and play for their country it doesn't matter if we apply marbles out there we're going to go out there and lead all on the line and do what we can for our country and let those into o
