Federer sets Djokovic rematch


 

Originally published on 21/11/15

Federer, who ended Djokovic’s three-match unbeaten streak in the round robin stages, defeated Stan Wawrinka 7-5 6-3 to set a repeat of last year’s final.

Djokovic, who beat Rafael Nadal 6-3 6-3 earlier on Saturday, is bidding to become the first man to win four consecutive titles at the event. The Serb won the event last year after Federer was forced to withdraw with a back injury.

"I don't feel unbeatable, but it does definitely feel great when I'm playing the way I played today, when I feel like I'm dictating the pace, most of the rallies, I feel like I'm on top of my opponent," Djokovic said. "There are days when you don't feel great, where you have to find a way to win."
