Yahoo News ATP Finals 2018 tour: Full schedule for the tennis at the 02 in London
The tennis season’s grand finale returns to London for the 10th successive year as the O2 Arena plays host to the ATP Finals.
Novak Djokovic is the odds-on favourite to claim a sixth title with Roger Federer, who lost his opener on Sunday, still likely to pose the strongest opposition to the Wimbledon and US Open champion.
Ankle surgery means Rafael Nadal will not take part in the Finals, meaning Djokovic will end the year at world No1, and his place has been taken by American John Isner.
British interest is confined to the doubles this year, where fourth seeds Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares will be looking to win the title for the first time.
Below is everything you need to know as the curtain comes down on another fine season of tennis...

The prize fund is not quite so extravagant on the doubles stage, though the $100,000 participation fee is not to be sniffed at. A round-robin win earns the pair $38,000 whilst the semi-final winners get $103,000. The finals winners gets $200,000, if they take the title without defeat they will take home $517,000.
