Novak Djokovic is set to meet Stan Wawrinka in round-robin play at this year’s Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, which will be held at The O2 Arena in London from November 9th.
Today’s draw ceremony also pitted World No. 2 Roger Federer with Kei Nishikori in Group B.
Djokovic, who is also the two-time defending champion, is aiming to become the fifth player in history to win the season finale title four times (or more). The Serbian won the Tennis Masters Cup Shanghai title in 2008 and twice in London in 2012 and in 2013. He will play against Australian Open titleist Wawrinka, Tomas Berdych and US Open winner Marin Cilic in Group A.
Federer, who was the 2003-04, 2006-07, 2010-11 champion, will meet first-time qualifiers Kei Nishikori and Milos Raonic in addition to Andy Murray in Group B.
Raonic beat Federer en route to last week’s BNP Paribas Masters final.
