Finally, we have the two groups ready for the World Tour Finals and we have been gifted with another match in the Fedal rivalry. 

In Group A, we have World No. 1 and 2008 champion Novak Djokovic joined by Andy Murray, Tomas Berdych and David Ferrer. 

Group B consists of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Mardy Fish. 

Here's an analysis of their head-to-head stats going into the tournament (indoor results included where they've met) plus who's hot and who's not. 

 

Group A

Djokovic-Murray: 6-4, 4-4 on hard court and 2-1 this year. 

Djokovic-Berdych: 7-1, 7-0 on hard court, 1-0 indoors and 3-0 this year. 

Djokovic-Ferrer: 6-4, 5-1 on hard court, 0-1 indoors and 1-0 this year.

Murray-Berdych: 1-3, 0-2 on hard court, 1-0 on carpet, 1-1 indoors and 0-1 this year. 

Murray-Ferrer: 5-3, 5-1 on hard court, 1-0 indoors and 3-0 this year. 

Berdych-Ferrer: 2-5, 0-2 on hard court, 0-1 indoors. 



Andy Murray is obviously the hot player in this group having suffered but one defeat since the US Open. Unfortunately for Murray, he suffered that defeat at the hands of Tomas Berdych, who he trails 3-1 in head-to-head. 

Their match should be close again, but if Murray plays his best, he should be able to beat Berdych. Murray starts off against Ferrer, whom he beat 6-2, 6-2 at last year's tournament. 

Novak Djokovic is like an unknown entity at this point. We all remember the Novak who couldn't lose a match, but we haven't seen him recently. 

Instead of resting and recovering fully, he's been playing both Basel and the Paris Masters with a nagging shoulder injury. Is the ten days between his last match at Paris Masters and his first against Tomas Berdych enough to recover? 

If so, one has to like the World No. 1's chan...
