    I've been trying to find out and can't see anything on it. I would guess lighting failure.
    Lights failed again.

    So a 3rd meeting in as many weeks on the cards for Andy and the Ferret. The Ferret serving for the match.

    600th career win for Daveeeed. Amazing achievement. I don't envy Andy playing him tomorrow. He seems to be getting stronger.

    Great day for tennis as Raonic goes out.

    What an end to the year for Goffin. Really hope he can bring this into 2015

    Andy looks like he's refound his high reliability levels again where he doesn't look like losing any more than once a blue moon to anybody outwith his fellow big 4.

    Playing as many tournaments as he could has worked wonders for him. That's all he needed to get his mojo back.

    Definitely doesn't have his mojo even nearly back

    David's right in that he's refound his "reliability" levels where he can eke out results against most players now, but he's a long, long way off his level from 2/3 years ago

    Coric is going to be something special

    Absolutely owning Rafa so far

    The Spaniard's last match of year unless he turns it around?

    Even the commentators are struggling to work out the points race. :D

    On a similar note, does anyone know what Fed has to do to end the year at No. 1 and more importantly, what Djoko has to do to stop him. :p

    Roger is about 2,500 points behind Djoko so I don't think it's possible for him to overtake Djoko at this stage.

    No it's to do with the race again, so he is less then 1000 points behind and everything is to play for them both.

    Should he win in Basel he will be less then 500 points behind Novak and then they both play Paris and WTF and then Fed has davis cup.

    Haha. At this time of year I only go on the race as that's all that counts really, for London and year end rankings, as by the time London comes around the race ends up as the rankings for year end. So I pretty much throw the rankings out the window.

    Something burst for Nadal but it was his bubble, not his appendix :D

    Well played Coric.

    Wow very impressive match from Coric to beat Rafa. 17 years old. Is he the next Boris. :D

    Rafa not going to London then?

    Would make Andy's race a whole lot easier.

    Would love a Coric/Federer final now. With Roger winning of course :)

    Rafa has pulled out of Paris because he is going to have his operation so he will almost certainly not be at The World Tour Finals.

    Very impressive from that kid, he just did to Rafa what Rafa did to Roger when he was 17, I don't really know who he is but looks promising for the future.

    Anyway I hope Rafa's operation goes well and he comes back strong next year.
