Federer fired up for another record bid

A YEAR dominated by Novak Djokovic could end with yet another record racked up by the enduring Roger Federer.

Victory at the ATP World Tour Finals beginning tomorrow will give Federer a sixth title at the season-ending event, putting him one clear of Ivan Lendl and Pete Sampras.

“It’s a motivation,” Federer said ahead of the tournament for the year’s top eight players. “That I’ve been able to reach some of these incredible milestones has been amazing and it’s definitely been an extra motivation for me trying to equal them or trying to do something like they did. It’s nice to be part of such an elite group, something so rare.”
