Stefanos Tsitsipas overcomes Roger Federer to reach final of ATP Finals
• Greek wins 6-3, 6-4 in titanic semi-final encounter • Tsitsipas: ‘Beating him is the biggest honour I could have’ Stefanos Tsitsipas, looking eerily like a young Roger Federer, reached the ninth final of his young career by beating the game’s most enduring champion 6-3, 6-4 for a place in Sunday’s deciding match in the ATP Tour Finals. The 17-year age differential between them is the biggest in the 50-year history of the event and a pointer to the power shift in the game. He saved 11 of 12 break points in a match that see-sawed for most of the hour and 36 minutes it held the packed stadium entranced. It was not a classic but nonetheless memorable for its mistakes and missed opportunities. Continue reading...

Stefanos Tsitsipas v Roger Federer: ATP Finals semi-final – live!
* ATP Finals updates from the first semi-final * Nadal out of ATP Finals despite epic win * You can email Tumaini or tweet him here 3.56pm GMT SECOND SET: STEFANOS TSITSIPAS 6-3 *3-2 ROGER FEDERER: Roger Federer finally converted a break point, only to let too many game points go. That was a nervy, nervy service game. The Swiss shanked a forehand at 30-30 to fall down break point, but his response was two brilliant service winners to bring up game point. Federer dragged a forehand wide on the first game point and Tsitsipas crushed a backhand down the line, as good as a winner, on the second. On break point, Tsitsipas stepped in and crushed a forehand winner crosscourt. The Greek is showing his mental fortitude today and he refuses to go away. 3.48pm GMT SECOND SET: STEFANOS TSITSIPAS 6-3 2-2* ROGER FEDERER: Federer finally breaks! It only took 9 break points for it to happen. Federer continues to return incredibly well and he moved up 0-40 after two spectacular forehand returns. But on break points, Federer has been another player today. He missed his 7th and 8th break points with two dire backhand return errors. Tsitsipas eradicated the final with a great overhead. The Swiss persevered, saving the game point with a precise forehand down the line and then connecting with a beautiful dropshot. Tsitsipas finally shanked a forehand wide on the eighth break point, and Federer is back in it. Continue reading...

Europe is squeezed between a hungry China and surly US
With Angela Merkel on the way out, who can keep the union intact as Beijing expands its influence and Trump’s hostility increases? The idea of Xi Jinping as a modern-day Odysseus seems a little far-fetched. But China’s globetrotting president proved a match for Homer’s hero last week when he trundled a Trojan horse deep inside the EU city gates – with an enthusiastic helping push from the Greeks. It was a classical, even epic, piece of opportunism. Xi’s visit to Athens marked a breakthrough moment in China’s decades-long siege of Europe’s markets. A series of deals will raise its investment in Greece to around €2.5bn. More significantly, Xi expanded Beijing’s foothold in the strategic port of Piraeus, from whence a rising tide of Chinese imports flow into the EU. Continue reading...
