LONDON (AP) — Even the
best player in the world
can have an off day, es-
pecially when he’s playing
someone many believe is
the best of all time.
Roger Federer brought his
top game to the O2 Arena
on Tuesday, stopping No-
vak Djokovic’s ATP Finals
winning streak at 15 by
beating the top-seeded
Serb 7-5, 6-2.
“I wouldn’t have picked it
maybe before the tourna-
ment, just because of his
really good record on the
indoors, the year he’s had,”
said Federer, who lost to
Djokovic in the Wimbledon
and U.S. Open finals. “But
then again, all day I felt
good about my chances.”
The win put Federer in the
semifinals of the season-
ending tournament for the
13th time in 14 appear-
ances. Djokovic, who has
already clinched the year-
end No. 1 ranking, had not
lost at the ATP Finals since
2011, winning the last three
elite titles for the top eight
players in the world.
