The ATP Tour Finals continue with Rafael Nadal taking on Felix Auger-Aliassime. This is in the Green group and both players lost their opening round-robin match. Rafael Nadal  is the top seed for this tournament but didn't win a set against the American. He lost the first set on a tie-break but then only won one game in the second set. The Spaniard has never won the ATP Tour Finals and again he comes into this event after a series of injuries during the year. He's now lost his last three matches and the pressure is on to get a win over Aliassime to maintain his chances of reaching the semi-finals.

Felix Auger-Aliassime is the fifth seed for this tournament but also lost his opening group match. He was beaten by Casper Ruud in straight sets and like Nadal, lost the first on a tie-break. Auger-Aliassime had won three tournaments in a row before being beaten in the Paris Masters final by Holger Rune. He'd been unbeaten in 16 matches before that defeat but has now lost two in a row. The pair have met twice in the past and as both have been played on clay, it's not too surprising that Nadal leads 2-0. Their most recent meeting was at Roland Garros this year but it took Nadal five sets to win that match. This is difficult to predict, so low stakes are recommended. It's not too easy to back Nadal at present, go for Auger-Aliassime to get the win. Have a side bet on there being a tie-break.
