The ATP finals are on and Dimitrov is on a roll, Lost three games in his last two matches. Next up is Sock and Federer is facing Goffin. Do you think Fed - Baby Fed will be the final? Who do you think will end up victorious in the final? Roger is a role model, I carried on playing tennis in school because of him, but Grigor is the one who makes me visit the court nowadays for a set with a friend.

[Wanderer 1,726]

Woow, Goffin  Beat his idol! Unexpected result, very.

With the level Grisha is showing this tournament, I think he is very close to the title, but one step at the time

ATP final is on and it is a break bonanza. Both Goffin and Dimitrov look quite nervous in the beginning.

[stefanbg 163]

Yay, Grigor won it. He was far too defensive today but still managed to turn things around when it mattered
