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.
