Federer Watch: "Magic Number" Down to 1

Group B action at the ATP World Tour Finals saw Rafa Nadal lose to Robin Soderling in straights and holder Novak Djokovic prevail over Nikolay Davydenko in three sets. Nadal's loss means that Roger Federer is now one win (or one Nadal loss) away from clinching the Year-end No. 1.

Federer has four "chances" left to clinch the Year-end No. 1 in the round robin stage, with two of them coming off his racket. He gets his first chance tomorrow against Andy Murray when Group A action resumes. The other Group A match pits Juan Martin Del Potro against Fernando Verdasco, who both lost on Sunday.
