Day 6: Tipsarević v Djokovic Tennis: World Tour Finals

Good afternoon and welcome to the 02 Arena once again. The group B

was simple but the other group is a different ball game. Watching

closely? What we are certain of his David Ferrer is through. The

identity of the next qualifying is not straightforward. If Djokovic

wins and Tomas Berdych wins, Djokovic is a fruit. If Tipsarevic

wins and David Ferrer beats Tomas Berdych, Tipsarevic is true.

Otherwise, Tomas Berdych gaze through. Still with me? If Djokovic

beats Tipsarevic in straight sets, Tomas Berdych qualifies. If

Djokovic beats Tipsarevic in three sets and Tomas Berdych wins by the

same score, he qualifies. If Djokovic wins in a to Z and Tomas

Berdych in a 3, Djokovic gaze through. But if Djokovic beats

Tipsarevic in three sets and Tomas Berdych gain 2, Tomas Berdych will

be in the semi-finals. Not all bad? I hope so. I will be asking

questions. Clear as mud! What the players have got to accept his they

have to win matches and let the computer to do the work. That is

what they will be focused on. Cable go out and play and they have got

to win Adie's matches and everything else will take over.

That is straightforward. I think we will be able to work out a bit more

when we have got more answers. cannot be sure who will finish top.

David Ferrer is the leader but could finish second. But whatever

happens in this first match, they have got to take care of business.

But it as we expect, Djokovic wins, he will go through all Wilmot! --

or he will not up. -- not go or he will not up. -- not go

millions of times. That is today's match. This evening, David Ferrer

against Tomas Berdych. Tipsarevic will not feature in the semi-finals.

These are the matches tonight. As far as Djokovic is concerned, he

has not been firing on all cylinders. He was lucky to get

through his first match. I think he will have to try and restore

personal pride after being beaten by David Ferrer. He was struggling

and had not played that many and had not played that many

matches but that was a stop -- shock. He wants to come out and put

in a good performance for himself and get himself through to the

semi-finals. We have got ranking points at stake and a lot of money

at stake as well. But it is personal pride. He has got money.

He was up to 49 in the world this year. He loves playing here and why

not? Here they come. From Serbia, The 2011 Australian Open, Wimbledon

and US Open champion, the winner of seven other World Tour titles this

season, the world No. 1, from Serbia, a Novak Djokovic! -- Novak

It certainly has been at this man's year. A lot of it he puts down to a

change in diet. He has had a few physical problems but he has pulled

out of quite a few matches and has had breathing problems and injuries.

He has made some adjustments to his diet and his performance in the

first half of the year was incredible. He did not lose any

match until the French Open and he has backed it up with three out of

four Grand Slams. Without having played that many matches in the

past couple of months, his form does not look as good as it has

been. He wants to finish on a positive net. The other be in his

speech so it is a nation. -- the other the is the service. He has

got a great position at the back and a perfect place. Last year he

that kind of tennis. -- top four. He is known as the little Mohammed

is quite a tough player. He is a Grand Slam finalist at the

Australian Open. He has been thereabouts for quite a long time.

As far as Rafael Nadal is concerned, As far as Rafael Nadal is concerned,

he is running on empty this entire week. The aura is not quite around

him. But he has said that he has not got any excuses but he will be

back. He said he has got less passion for the game and that is a

worry because that was his strength. And when he does not had that

enthusiasm, that is a big loss to enthusiasm, that is a big loss to

his game because he is an unbelievable competitor. He looked

flat on the court last night. It meant something to him but it did

not look like he had that burning desire to get through the match

will stop he has got the Davis Cup for --. He has got the Davis Cup

coming up and he will want to finish on a high and then he will

get ready for 2012. Last year, it was the Davis Cup final that kick

started Djokovic. Talk about national pride. It is a fiery area,

Serbia. They feel passion when they played for their country and he won

these matches and 41 more. That was an amazing year and particularly in

the first half. We can hear from Djokovic it. What started after

Australia? Could you had imagined the unbeaten run after that? I did

not expect and imagine that. What was keeping me on the ground and

keeping my focus was the fact that I was thinking only about the next

match and tournament. I was not thinking in advance. When I got to

the stage I did not lose all five months, people were thinking, when

will it end? But I was not thinking about that. I was thinking about

how many matches I can win. That helped a lot. I was using the

experience I had in the last couple of years of competing with the best

players. I think I was really consistent in the last four years.

I won a major event and played in the semi-finals at quarter-finals

of all the Grand Slams. But I could not make that final step. I was not

feeling a lot of self-belief and confidence against Roger Federer

and Rafael Nadal. That changed his year. I matured more and figured

out things. What I should do and be approached two tournaments.

when you did lose at Roland Garros to Roger Federer, maybe we had the

chance that the season could have collapsed. You could have lost a

few matches but that did not happened. How important was that?

Very important. After I lost that match, it was not just about losing

the first match in one a year, it was a very important semi-final at

Roland Garros. It was a very close and epic match and one of the best

this year. I'd lost to a better player at stake. But I was

certainly disappointed. -- that day. But I was very proud of being able

to recover mentally and motivate myself to play as well as I did in

Wimbledon. Is that a career highlight? Definitely. It was a

dream come true, winning that tournament. It is the number one

place in the world. Being able to share that unforgettable experience

with the closest people in my team and my family, my girlfriend and

everybody was there, it was just really something I will always

remember. Since he was a child he dreamed of winning Wimbledon and

that came true last summer. He is that came true last summer. He is

up against his good friend, Tipsarevic. He has an advantage in

the head to head that they have all gone the distance and he has taken

a set of Djokovic in all these meetings and that could be relevant.

They are just about to get started! It is not far away, looking down on

this wonderful arena. This match is very important. The last day of

How different could this group been looking now with a few points here

and there? The previous match was lost by Tomas Berdych but Djokovic

You cannot win from the back of the court from too far behind the

baseline against Djokovic. If you give him territory, he will spread

you out wide and pick you off. Djokovic must find that balance

Barker, what about playing a fellow countrymen? There is only one boss

but they have always been quite tight matches. She mentioned that

talk about playing fellow countrymen. Talk about what it was

was obviously a bit of rivalry and we both wanted to win badly. But in

terms of the matches, I kind of enjoyed playing him but when I had

to play Andy Murray are a few years later, I did not. Once I felt very

comfortable and next, I felt uncomfortable and that was

reflected in the results. That was style of play. That was one of the

reasons you did not enjoy it against Andy Murray. The up and

coming kid and you on the way out! But he had a great returned. It was

a match that did not suit my height. Greg Rusedski had a good serve but

I felt I returned OK. Tipsarevic obviously knows the game of

Djokovic very well. It will be interesting to see if he can have

top five but I did not think anybody could predict what happened

-- all the brides of somebody that The best shot of both players is

the backhand down the line. They look to bring back into play but

never early in a rally. Now and again they throw a punch down the

line but they look to manoeuvre as When you reflect on the year of

Djokovic, he has been a very strong on a long rallies but this time, he

has been the one making unforced errors. It is a small margin. He

got hammered the other day by David Ferrer. That was a bruising

it will be interesting to see what happens. The other people

approached are interesting as well. We have heard the possibility of a

UMPIRE: Djokovic is challenging the UMPIRE: Djokovic has two challenges

He just has this purity of shot. Weight transference, balance.

Tipsarevic and his follow-through Beautiful point. Well-constructed.

When Djokovic came in after this shot, he was actually sliding on

his right foot but it was a controlled slide. That takes a

Talked about Tipsarevic being proactive and reactive. You feel

like Djokovic is Saturdaying to dictate the points using that

backhand down the line. Upping up the angles. The error is a result

of the pressure that Tipsarevic was feeling from the other end of the

court. I mean it would be nice when you are playing Djokovic if he

would miss a ball at some point. When he gets into that frame of

mind, where he is not going to miss, he doesn't. And when he he moves so

well as the opponent you feel you have to go closer and closer to the

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

UMPIRE: Challenge. Stop. Tipsarevic's challenged the call.

The right baseline. So when you challenge like this you are in

effect stopping the rally. If you are right, you played it again f

you are wrong you loose the point and I'm afraid the ball was good.

UMPIRE: Tipsarevic has two Gets up the court for this one and

picks his spot down the line. With less court to aim into. Executed it

The ball was called in. I think the lines man thinks it was probably

out. I think he forgot say something, the challenge is already

there. But actually. It is another perfect non-call. He looks like a

genius. Yes, so two non-calls and they were perfect in that game. So

we are looking at the world number one who has picked up as many games

already in this match in 20 minute as he did against refer erefer of

Spain. He is at the top of the world ranks by miles having won

five of the masters events and three testify four Grand Slams. The

only one he hasn't won was the French Open. That is the points

system and the world ranking at the moment. And you can see on the

right hand side how many points there are available. Roger Federer

can still overtake Andy Murray, and end the year as number three. Andy

Murray has been number four so it could end up that way again, we

will see how it goes. This is what they are playing for. This week. As

well as the money at the top which is, you know, serious amounts of

money, the points are available here. Federer has 600 points

already. Semifinal win. 400. Final win 500. So undefeated champion as

Federer was last year would take him or give him a total of 1500

points. To put that in perspective it is 2,000 for a Grand Slam trick

-- victory. 1,000 for the Masters Series, 1,000 events. So I hope

that is something of an explanation as to what is going on here P Do

you ever think about the money or the points when you are playing at

this level? I don't think at this level, but certainly when you are

on your way up, and you know, you are playing for smuch smaller sums

and you are trying to make ends meet an and thinking about the

experiences that go with it, absolutely. Once you get here it is

You spent about six months worrying all that sort of stuff then you

yourself the question, what happened two days ago? Didn't see

down as a bad day at the office. Well Djokovic here managed to get

his racket on the return, Tipsarevic could have gone anywhere

here, and Djokovic had been standing there, for quite some time.

He is getting ready for the next point, wasn't he. That is amazing.

What does he wear those glasses for, Tim? I think they are lenses, they

are... To aid his viewing, his Think you get different types of

lenss for different light, so when he is indoor he will have one set,

so when it is darker outside or very bright sunshine. There is a

So new balls comes out. The number one seed, the world number one in

command of this one, 5-2. Difficult to see a way back for Tipsarevic.

As he unless he finds some inspiration and starts hilting

winners. How does he get back into this match from 5 will 2 down.

There isn't necessarily a Plan B. He has to do Plan A a bit better

and at the moment Djokovic is more offensive. He is moving Tipsarevic

round, and not making too many unforced errors, so I think at this

moment, he does, he has to raise his levels, and try and be that bit

more aggressive without missing. And hope for a lapse of

concentration from his opponent today, which doesn't seem likely,

as he tries to make it through to the semifinals. Tipsarevic is the

only one playing today, who can't be in those semifinals which take

place over the weekend, final Sunday night. It is a bit of an

advantage to yesterday's group, to Federer and Tsonga, who are already

through to the semifinals, that they have this three matches in

four day, rather than three matches in three day, as this group had.

That is right. I guess that, you know, that is luck of the draw, but,

at least this is only best of three sets, when you think of the

schedules at the US Open which is horrendous for the players you have

to play, where they split the first round Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

That hit the top of the net. It was a searing forehand driver. He does

this with the same technique as every other forehand. His technique

is so sound. You might be able to see the top of the net. That is

that that reaction is about, not Tipsarevic thinks the world is

against him at the moment. Perhaps hasn't had the rub of the green.

patient but wouldn't be surprised if he has a cut and hits it. A and

it will test Djokovic's never as well. It is not necessarily plain

Oh yes. Great defence. Good point That is where Djokovic is so good.

He is most, he is the player that is able to be offensive in a

defensive position. He is so I think it is deforlising to play

against when you feel yoiing should be rewarded, the ball comes back

and you start the rally again b and that is when the unforced errors

May as well challenge it, because the chances are there is only one

point left in the set and he still has a challenge. And of course it

is on the line. Three more set That was a very tidy set of tennis

and a great response to the loss he suffered at the hands of Ferrer the

other night. SUE BARKER: It feels it is anything you can do I can do

better as far as Djokovic is concerned. He is a great champion

on the court but a trifi personality off it. There was a

lovely illustration when after a training session he decided to

learn how to be a ball kid and he was learn there from Charlie Heaton.

Eventually he got it right. There we go. And even after this drill,

you ask for a towel. Say you are a By more kind! Cheers. Cheers.

from Barnstaple who came. They said they could never get tickets for

Wimbledon or Queens. Here they would watch the best. Here are

Of all of the people at the top of the game, Djokovic hits inside the

got a plan. When he gets the point, he goes away from that and Djokovic

He has had a couple of tough games and he has done up well. He is

keeping it as close as he possibly can. 27 years old and he has had

the year of his life, 49 Q 9 in the the year of his life, 49 Q 9 in the

rankings. He was in the top 30 and the final in Eastbourne. Then he

had an excellent heart court summer. Semi-finals in Washington and

Canada. He has previously beaten Tomas Berdych and was beaten by

Djokovic. He has also won and Kuala Lumpur. After the US Open, he has

consistently built up and he finds himself in the top 10. He was only

here after Andy Murray pulled out with a groin strain. He took his

place in this particular group. He deserves to be here. That is a

massive leap, from 49. It certainly is. When you have got a group of

players from the same country and you have seen that with the Spanish,

the French, Serbia has got a new generation. The success of Djokovic

has pushed Tipsarevic arm and they have improved each other's games. I

would not be surprised if there was would not be surprised if there was

not more coming up soon. Basketball is big in Serbia and football is

still the number one sport. But That is long, long. He has missed

by a couple of feet. It is unusual. What is going on? It is just a lack

of something at the end of the year. Talking about the next generation

back on serve in the second set. SUE BARKER: Let us look at the

groups as the players change ends, because Djokovic knows how

important it is to try and win this instraight sets today, because if

he does, then all Ferrer has to do this evening, is win one set

against, well, we will see it in a moment. Needs to win one set

against Thomas Berdych. That is how it stands at the moment. That is

Group B. And we know that Roger Federer who undefeated, he is

joined by Tsonga, who came through after winning that match against

the former world number one Rafael Nadal in three sets. So it is still

all to play for in this group. But Djokovic knows how important it is

to try and win in straight sets. Will he go through along with David

Ferrer. We don't foe who will play tomorrow, but we will be on the air

on BBC Two at 2.00. Join us then. So let us rejoin the match. We have

ten minutes to go on BBC Two. We will stay with the tennis on the

BBC HD channel and on the red button. For the next few minutes on

two we are staying with the match. Thank you Sue. I am glad you didn't

go through too many of the scenarios in this group because

there are so many of them. As you were saying both player,

particularly Djokovic, knows that, you know, wib the match, just go

and do the job. No matter what happens, it all depends on the

match later on, between Berdych and Ferrer who goes through from the

group. Berdych or Djokovic, with Ferrer, he could win this match,

and not go through, or he could lose this match and go through. So

it is all in other people's hands. He is taking care of business. He

is back on serve with his older Djokovic goes out there, plays the

right way, plays to his capability, he is going to win. If he does that,

then everything will take care of itself. Or not. As the case may be.
