• Those who bet on sports in the UK back Stanislas to win tonight

• His win combined with Djokovic’s will put Wawrinka in the semis

• Cilic also still has a chance to qualify for the semi-finals

Yesterday it was Group B turn to end the round robin competition. Roger Federer gave no chance to Andy Murray beating him 6-0, 6-1 in front of home crowd. Roger is still hoping Djokovic loses in the afternoon and opens up a chance for the Swiss to take the year-end number one spot. But even if that fails he will still have a chance at winning his record-setting 7^th title.

David Ferrer took the place of injured Milos Raonic to battle it out with Kei Nishikori. But just as the bookies operating under British gambling laws predicted, it was the Japanese who booked his place in the semis, following the first 3-setter of the tournament.

Stanislas came back from being the underdog before his opener with Berdych, to beat the Czech player in straight sets. The Swiss went on to lose his second match to the world number one Djokovic, but no one really expected him to put up a big fight there.

Marin Cilic, on the other hand has lost both of his matches: 1-6, 1-6 to Djokovic in the opener, and 3-6, 1-6 to Berdych in the second fixture. His only hope now is to beat Wawrinka with a great score and hope that Djokovic crushes Berdych in the afternoon match.

Wawrinka v Cilic trivia

While Wawrinka’s loss to Djokovic is quite understandable, his performance against Berdych was surprisingly good, but then again Tomas is now on his best form right now. As for Marin, there’s absolutely no excuse for his disastrous performances at the O2, and even him admitting he’s “a bit tired” doesn’t really do.

Tonight’s game will be 10^th time the pair meets, with Wawrinka leading Cilic 7-2 on head-to-heads. They met only twice in 2014, with Stanislas taking both matches with the last one played on the same hard surface as tonight in Cincinnati, and Wawrinka winning it 3-6, 6-0, 6-1.
