Roger Federer Defeats Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-0 In London

Roger Federer defeated rival Rafael Nadal today 6-3, 6-0 in London at the ATP World Tour Finals.

“It's a surprising result,” Federer told the BBC. “I wish Rafa all the best for the rest of the group. I'm excited about the way I played. It's a weight off my shoulders to play the last match without such pressure.”

Federer’s victory was just his third in the pair's previous 12 meetings. The victory means that he will not have to win his match Thursday to qualify for the semi-finals of the tournament. He is now slotted to play the already eliminated Mardy Fish, while Nadal will have to face Wilfried Tsonga for the second semi-finals position in Group B.
