Ferrer defeats Djokovic 6-3, 6-1 at ATP finals

Djokovic, the winner of three Grand Slams and 10 titles overall this season, looked far from the player who dominated most of 2011 and lost for only the fifth time this year.From 3-2 in the first set, the off-form Serb lost seven straight games against the fifth-seeded Spaniard. The top-ranked Djokovic made 33 unforced errors, exactly three times as many as Ferrer.Djokovic can still advance to the semifinals if he beats fellow Serb Janko Tipsarevic on Friday. Tomas Berdych earlier saved a match point en route to a 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (6) win over Tipsarevic to maintain his hopes of reaching the last four.Just like the match between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal the previous evening, Djokovic and Ferrer were evenly matched in the opening stages.Federer won 10 of the last 11 games to win 6-3, 6-0, and Ferrer was almost as convincing against Djokovic to win in 1 hour, 15 minutes.Djokovic was dressed all in black for the evening match except for the flashes of gold on his shoes, while Ferrer was dressed in a more traditional white outfit, but it was the Spaniards tennis that dazzled the crowd at the O2 Arena.Ferrers energetic retrieving around the baseline appeared to sap the belief from Djokovic, who spent much of the second set shooting pained looks at his support camp or shrugging his shoulders in despair.When the world No. 1 blazed a forehand wide and long to give Ferrer the match, it was the Spaniards turn to shrug his shoulders, as if in disbelief.
