When Roger Federers was out of the tournament due to that he needed some rest for his health, fans were disappointed but at least other players who were still in the game made the tournament interesting. Russia's Mikhail Youzhnys was one of them who managed to make a comeback after nearly losing the game at some of the matches. 

 

He made it all the way to the final but his challenge, the defending champion and World No. 2 Novak Djokovic managed to win him after all. Despite a tantrum from the World No. 2 who kept smashing his racket until it buckled after he double-faulted to put his opponent 5-4 up and a day-long rain delay, he put up a good game still. 

 

It was tiring for both players as they did not budged in to each other and at the final game, Djokovic led 3-0 but was chased up by the second seed to 3-3. The golden score was when Djokovic served out the match after a long forehand from the Russian. The Serb then collapse in triumph to express his joy.

The new champion and his super trophy

When Nikolay emerged as the winner after winning del petro, it was indeed a glorious and memorable moment for him. He played the game well and won 6-3, 6-4 without much of a tough game it seems. Perhaps one of them is either super strong that day or one of them is not in the right mood. The thing here that I want specifically want to mention is that the photo of the winner taking the trophy taken is by far the most interesting and brightest. The previous photo shows the surrounding people at the Paris Masters when the champion gets his trophy but this time the trophy seems to show the prestige of ATP Final. The trophy was really bright and shiny. Maybe that is why Nikolay is so happy, it is one kind of a trophy.

Actions at the Q2 arena has been intense and thrilling as the top players played their best to win this tournament. Although Roger Federer has won the World no.1 title again but they are able to win this trophy to be another no. 1 for this game of course. But sometimes it is not the world no. 1 or trophy that matters it is the feeling of winning the best players around that gives great satisfaction or basically being good at this game that they all love. Top players both World no. 1 and 2 have been knocked out and they have been knocked out by the same person. Del Porto has also made into the final and he will not be meeting Roger Federer this time instead the person who knocked him out Nikolay. Both players are pretty good at what they are doing therefore this is certainly another good match to watch even though it is not between the world no. 1 and 2.
