ATP World Tour Finals 2017:The Final Showdown

The stage is set for the biggest tennis stars to battle it out for the last tournament of the year the ATP World Tour Finals.This blog will predict Who will win the ATP World Tour Finals this year?



The ATP World Tour finals will start from November 12 and all eyes will be on the two greats Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.In fact this is the first time in last 7 years the the top 2 players could be easily figured out.Otherwise this tournament is famous for its suspense for the champion.Since last 5-6 years it used to be a tough competiton between the big four with Wawrinka replacing Nadal ocassionally.Roger Federer holds the record for most number of titles in this tournament.The Swiss maestro has won 6 singles titles.He has been waiting to win this title for the seventh time for last six years.The most astonishing fact is Nadal has never won this tournament.He has been runner up in 2010 and 2013.This year Djokovic,Murray and Wawrinka have already pulled out of this tournament.
Talking about this year's tournament Nadal is in pool A along with Dominic Thiem,Grigor Dimitrov and David Goffin.Federer is in pool B along with Alexander Zverev,Marin Cilic and John Sock.In my opinion both Federer and Nadal should easily make it to the finals until and unless a big upset happens.Though players like Cilic and Dimitrov have the potential of posing problems but I do not think they can upset Federer or Nadal.
Now what about the champion of this tournament?Will it be 7th time for Federer or 1st for Nadal.Surely it could be anyones game.Now considering their head to head this year and Federer's record on hard court against Nadal it seems that Federer has a slight upper edge.Also Nadal is recovering from a knee injury.In fact there was a controversy that broke out because of this as Nadal wanted to rest for one more day hence there was a last minute change in the schedule and Nadal's match was shifted to Monday.I really do not know how much Nadal has recovered from his injury.Is it enough to win the tournament,that only time will tell.
Finally I believe that this year's World Tour Finals will be a cracker contest,though not as close as past few yers.Honestly if I speak who would win the championship then I would say Federer.100% fit Federer Vs a Nadal recovering from injury,the former seems to have an upper hand.But the beauty of this rivalry is that predictions go wrong most of the times.

Can Indian Hockey bring back its golden days?

The national game of India has been out of color for past few years.The big question is can hockey (Indian mens hockey)bring back its golden days in India. Hockey is a game in which India has dominated in the past. In fact India holds the record of maximum number of gold medals in the game of hockey.The days of Dhyan Chand were absolutely golden for India as India has no match at that time.India has won a staggering 11 olympic medals including 8 gold,1silver and 2 bronze medals.But after 1980 things have not been good for Indian hockey and after 2000 India has been facing problems in even qualifying for the Olympics. The major reason for this drop is the change of rules.Hockey earlier was played on plain grounds.But after the introduction of Astro Turf grounds,the game becoming fast,Dominance of European countries in the administration made things worse for India.Not only did Indian hockey lost tournaments but it also lost its popularity from India.Another big reason for this...

Who is better Sachin or Virat?

The hot Question since past three years is Who is a better player Sachin or Virat?                              Sachin Tendulkar                                                        Virat Kohli Well its not easy to compare two people of two different generations but it still can be done because of the fact that both of them have played with each other for good 3-4 years. Lets compare both of them on different aspects-: 1.       Time periods :  When we compare the periods when these two played then they are extremely different. Sachin made his debut at a time when India was emerging as a cricketing country, when we were not the best in any of the things. Sachin came as a hope as to we could say that we hav...
