Barclays ATP World Tour underway

Federer, Djokovic, and Murray have dominated their corresponding opponents in their first outing in the season ender tournament for 2010.  World no. 1 Rafael Nadal though have to grind it out againsts former world no.1 Andy Roddick in a come from behind victory 3-6 7-6 6-4.

Nadal's win is not so convincing, but understandable, as this was his first tournament since going down with a shoulder injury 3 weeks ago.  He also ended his 3 game losing streak in the tournament after being swept away in last year's round robin.

Tuesday night will feature hometown favorite Andy Murray againsts world no. 2 Roger Federer.  Murray will be bringing with him an 8-5 head to head matchup lead, with 2 wins coming in recent tournaments in Toronto and Shanghai.  This will definitely give him some psychological advantage going into the match, but Federer has always conquered Murray in the majors.

Robin Soderling and David Ferrer will slug it out in the night's match where both players will try to salvage their first win in the tournament.
