Novak Djokovic vs. Tomas Berdych I think this match will be fairly one-sided. Novak Djokovic can accumulate a 4-2 set record with a straight set win over Berdych.

World Tour Finals 2015: Stan Wawrinka vs. David Ferrer Prediction
Stan Wawrinka vs. David Ferrer In my view, this match all comes down to Stan’s mentality.

Jim Courier questioned…

World Tour Finals 2015: Andy Murray vs. David Ferrer Prediction
Andy Murray vs. David Ferrer Didn’t we just do this? These two have had some fun matches. Murray generally wins, but there are a lot of rallies and hustle when they clash. Andy Murray floated the idea that Davis Cup was more important to him than the World Tour Finals. Does that mean he will…
World Tour Finals 2015: Roger Federer vs. Tomas Berdych Prediction
Roger Federer vs. Tomas Berdych Roger Federer won Basel, but his other two tournaments after the US Open were less than stellar.
