Roger Federer goes into this year's ATP World Tour Finals as favourite to claim his sixth title.
It's fair to say Federer is comfortably the form player going into this year's Tour Finals. The Swiss is always a strong finisher to the season and he's notched a couple more titles in the past few weeks, winning Basel and then the Paris Masters for the first time.
Federer was in an upbeat mood when he met the press on Friday saying, "I’d love to win a sixth title here. I’ve had so many successful ends to the year. This is another one after winning Basel and Paris. Here I am entering as the defending champion; I hope I have a chance to do well again and finish the season strong."
However Federer believes that this year's event is more wide open than ever before. "This year will be very interesting because I feel the one to four guys are the favourites, and then from five to eight they have the potential to upset the top guys and go all the way to the final," he said.

Our prediction: Federer loves this surface and his confidence is sky high at the moment. He knows that some of his big rivals aren't in the best shape and it will be a surprise if he isn't lifting his sixth title come Sunday 27th.
