The 2018 edition might be the last for Roger Federer at the ATP World Tour Finals. The 37 year-old, after winning 2 titles at the start of this year and one after the clay season, suffered a mini-drought that lasted till the Basel Open last month. He won the Stuttgart Open in mid-June but endured upsets in both Halle and Wimbledon. He lost to Borna Coric in the Halle Open final and to Kevin Anderson in a marathon Wimbledon quarterfinal.

The horror run didn't end there for the Swiss Maestro as he was upset in the US Open too, this time against John Millman in 4 sets. He had a better showing at Shanghai, reaching the semifinal after 3 testing matches, but lost to Coric again. At home in Basel though, things changed for Federer as he breezed to his 99th title. He had an epic 3-set semifinal at Paris too, against Novak Djokovic. He wasn't even broken once in the match but ended up losing it 6-7, 7-5, 6-7.

It wasn't Federer's day, but not every match will pan out that way. With a probable semifinal or final against the same opponent at the Tour Finals looming, he might fancy his chances.
