ATP World Tour Finals 2019 Draw: Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer Fall in Same Group

The ATP World Tour Finals 2019 draw has been unveiled and there are plenty of intriguing match-ups with the top 8 ATP men ready to battle at the O2 Arena in London from 10th November to 17th November 2019 to claim the title at the final event of the season.

The draw was delayed by more than half an hour of the scheduled time. The reason for the ATP Tour Finals draw delay was that one of the electric motors in the vibrating balls that are used for the draw wasn’t working properly and needed to be replaced.
