Djokovic recovers to beat Berdych at ATP finals
Wednesday, 23 November 2011
LONDON, Nov 22 (AP): Novak Djokovic saved a match point in the third set against Tomas Berdych before winning 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (3) Monday to avoid becoming the second upset of the day at the ATP World Tour Finals.
Third-ranked Andy Murray struggled through an earlier 6-4, 7-5 loss to David Ferrer with a groin injury he fears could end his tournament. Murray said he would decide Tuesday whether he will pull out.
"If it wasn't Slams or this event, I wouldn't have played," Murray said.
Berdych fell apart in the tiebreaker and a relieved Djokovic took his 2011 win-loss record to 70-4.
