Ferrer defeat Djokovic at ATP World Finals

David proved much too strong for an out-of-sorts Novak Djokovic at the ATP World Tour Finals, beating the world number one 6-3, 6-1 last night.



Having enjoyed an escape against Tomas Berdych in his opening match at the season-ending tournament in London, Djokovic was simply blown away by the Spaniard in just 75 minutes.



Djokovic must now beat compatriot Janko Tipsarevic in his final outing in Group ‘A’ tomorrow to make it through to the knockout stages.



Meanwhile, Berdych came out on top in a final-set tie-break to see off Tipsarevic.



The seventh seed triumphed 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 after two hours and 26 minutes on court, meaning he is still in the hunt to qualify for the knockout stages from Group A.



Tipsarevic - a last-minute replacement after Andy Murray pulled out with a groin injury on Tuesday - paid the price for failing to take his chance, slicing a relatively-straight forward backhand volley well wide on match point.
