It was day three of the ATP World Tour Finals at the O2 today and I went along to see Andy Murray go up against Roger Federer. Notionally, Andy Murray was the home favourite but I’m pretty sure that it was Roger who got the loudest cheers from the near capacity crowd. Spectators, myself included, who expected a close match following Murray’s defeat of Federer at last month’s Shanghai Masters were left disappointed by a pretty one sided match, with the Swiss Maestro winning 6-4 6-2.
If you haven’t been to see the tennis at the O2 yet, it has a great atmosphere – players entering the arena to the sound of “London Calling” by the Clash and the heart thumping sound effect culminating in a chorus of “ooohs” as ‘Hawkeye’ decisions are revealed on the big screens both add to the excitement.
The tournament ends this Sunday so there’s still time to get yourself a ticket – and even non ticket holders can go and check out the “Fan Zone” at the end of the O2’s Entertainment Avenue which includes the players’ practice courts.
