London Field Set, Verdasco Takes Final Spot

Posted by WTM on November 14, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

The field of eight players is set for the 200 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London.

Fernando Verdasco secured the eighth and final spot in the year-end ATP Championships when both Robin Soderling and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga lost quarterfinal matches Friday at the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris.

Verdasco joins top-ranked Roger Federer, defending Novak Djokovic, No. 2-ranked Rafael Nadal, Britain’s Andy Murray,  US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro, Wimbledon finalist Andy Roddick and 2008 runner-up Nikolay Davydenko in the field set to compete Nov. 22-29.

Roddick has not played since suffering a knee injury last month in Shanghai. If he is unable to compete, Soderling will slide into the field as the No. 1 alternate.
