The ATP World Tour Finals have succeeded in bringing together some of the finest tennis talent that the sport has to offer, London being the location of this season's unmissable climax.

With Group A's incumbents in action on Wednesday, the other half of this year's men's selection are back out on the court this Thursday in what promises to be some extremely satisfying encounters.

It was a slow start that eventually did Federer in, his 7-6 second-set win not being enough to stem the tide against Djokovic, while Gasquet started out strongly against Del Potro but eventually withered.

In 12 meetings, it's Federer who boasts a 10-2 record against Gasquet, the world No. 9 time and again being proven unfit to battle his elder.

However, with a win promising the victor their chance of advancing to the next round of this year's finals, there may yet be a surprise in the making for a meeting that hasn't been replicated since the 2012 Madrid Masters.
