Tim Henman will meet Fernando Gonzalez in Sunday’s Champions Tennis Final at the Royal Albert Hall.

The former British No. 1 booked his place in the showpiece event with a straight-sets win over Younes El Aynaoui. A single break in each set was enough for Henman, who prevailed 6-3 7-5 on Saturday afternoon to top Group A.

Earlier in the week, Fernando Gonzalez came through Group B courtesy of wins over Xavier Malisse and Sebastien Grosjean.

Also on Saturday, Bahrami and McEnroe beat Cash and Pernfors 7-4 in a highly entertaining exhibition doubles match.

Elsewhere, the much-anticipated Tie Break Tens event was launched. In an evening of fast-paced, first-to-ten-point tie breaks, it was 20-year-old Kyle Edmund who emerged victorious.

The Briton beat his compatriot Andy Murray 10-7 in the final. For all of Murray’s considerable defensive capabilities, Edmund’s powerful forehand proved destructive as he avenged a Group stage loss and took home the $250,000 prize.

Elsewhere on Saturday, Champions Tennis saw families able to upgrade to a Family Advantage Package and enjoy over an hour of fun in the Champions Club at the Royal Albert Hall, including Judy Murray’s Miss-Hits.

Continuing our Season In Review Series, ATPWorldTour.com revisits the best ATP World Tour matches of 2015. In today’s countdown we feature Nos. 2-1:

Andy Murray d. Novak Djokovic 6-4, 4-6, 6-3/F/Montreal

Andy Murray acknowledged as much; that “there is no disgrace in losing to” Novak Djokovic, something that the Scotsman experienced on six of seven occasions in 2015, each time in a semi-final or final. But the newly minted year-end World No. 2 in the Emirates ATP Rankings didn’t walk away empty-handed. In fact, his three-hour-long 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 triumph over the Serb for the Montreal title — his 11th career win over a World No. 1 — proved to be one of the most thrilling ATP World Tour matches of the year.

“To win this one was nice, especially the way the match went,” said Murray, who notched his third Rogers Cup title (2009, 2010). “It would have been easy for me to let that one slip away. But I fought well and stayed calm in the important moments of the third set.

“I think I did come up and play aggressively when I needed to — especially in the third set when I was brea kpoints down,” he continued. “I finished a couple of points at the net, got some free points on my first serve, as well. I would say the margins were so fine. I felt like I played as aggressively as I could.”

With Murray surging to 3-0 in the deciding set, the Serb regularly looked at his right elbow in discomfort. However, he refused to let go without a fight, surviving three championship points at 2-5 before the Scot closed it out 6-3 on his fifth match point.

Murray’s triumph snapped an eight-match losing streak against Djokovic, who was contesting a career-best ninth straight tour-level final dating back to the Australian Open. He was riding a 12-match winning streak in ATP Masters 1000 finals since falling to Roger Federer in the Cincinnati decider in 2012. He had won his past 30 ATP Masters 1000 matches.

“You never like losing, but any streak comes to an end,” Djokovic confided. “I did fight until the last point and did try my best. That’s something that I take as a positive.”

Murray’s victory marked just his ninth in 28 meetings with Djokovic. He had not beaten him since claiming the Wimbledon final in 2013 and despite the pair being back atop the Emirates ATP Rankings, Djokovic refused to call it the next great rivalry in the men’s game.

“I think we already have a rivalry. It’s not the next. It’s already existing there for many years,” he said. “Andy is deservedly a winner today on the court… He deserved it. He stepped in, played some great shots. Most of all the moments when he needed to, he served very, very well.”

Nick Kyrgios d. Roger Federer 6–7(2), 7–6(5), 7–6(12)/R32/Madrid

It’s not every day you get to take the court with your childhood idol. It’s not every day either that you come away with a dream win. But that’s exactly what Aussie young gun Nick Kyrgios pulled off in the second round at the Mutua Madrid Open, a 6-7(2), 7-6(5), 7-6(12) ATP World Tour Masters 1000-level stunner over Roger Federer, only the second Top-10 win of his career.

“Last night it was a bit tough to get some sleep knowing that I was going out there,” he said. “I’ve been playing well recently on the clay, so I knew I had a good chance to go out there and do well. I stuck to my game and served well and I got the win.”

The 20-year-old from Canberra halted Federer’s quest for a fourth title in Madrid in two hours and 37 minutes. Federer rallied from a break down to take the opening set, but Kyrgios would soon level the match. Neither player faced a break point in the third set, which boiled down to yet another tie-break. The top seed saved five match points before Kyrgios sealed the match in a tie-break, 14-12.

“This is my best win,” said Kyrgios. “He’s proven that he’s the best.  He can play on any surface.  Obviously, he’s the leading Grand Slam winner, done so much for the sport.”

In his first – and so far, only – meeting with Federer, Kyrgios fired 22 aces and won 79 percent of points on his first serve. However, the Aussie shotmaker would be cut down in the next round against John Isner, who fired 20 aces to Kyrgios’ 10.

“He likes the big stage,” said Federer. “He’s got nothing to lose, no fear, and he’s got a great game. He can rely on his serve so much. It keeps him in the match regardless of he how he plays from the baseline. All he needs to do is string a few good shots, a few good points together when it really matters.”

Kyrgios out-aced his veteran opponent 22-16 and won 79 per cent (67 of 85) first-serve points.

“I was definitely thinking about the finish line, which is probably not the greatest thing, especially against Federer,” Kyrgios confided. “He’s going to take advantage of that. But I thought as I was saving match points and he was saving match points, just have to go through your routine and pick a spot on your return, and try and do whatever you can. Probably had plenty to lose out there.  You’ve been out there three hours. You don’t want to lose 7‑6 in the third.”

The ATP Challenger Tour’s finest had their moment in the spotlight during the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.

Throughout the 2015 season, nine tournaments on the circuit were honoured with 25-year commitment awards and the celebration culminated with a group dinner in London. These events have exemplified a steadfast dedication to growing the game and creating a strong foundation for players to develop their skills at the Challenger level.

“The ATP Challenger Tour is the bedrock of men’s professional tennis,” said ATP Executive Chairman and President Chris Kermode. “We’re delighted to be able to welcome and show our appreciation to these tournament organisers that have done so much for our sport over the years. The success of the ATP Challenger Tour is critical to the overall health of men’s professional tennis.”

Tournament directors and guests from Cherbourg (France), Furth (Germany), Istanbul (Turkey), San Luis Potosi (Mexico), Segovia (Spain), Sevilla (Spain), Tampere (Finland) and a USTA representative for Aptos and Winnetka were on hand. Many current and former ATP World Tour stars have started their journeys at these tournaments, including Rafael Nadal lifting the Segovia trophy in 2003, Patrick Rafter in Aptos 1993, Robin Soderling in Istanbul 2003 and Grigor Dimitrov in Cherbourg 2011. The tournament in San Luis Potosi is the oldest of the group, having first opened its doors in 1980.

In addition, tournament directors and guests from Braunschweig (Germany) and Genova (Italy) were honoured as co-ATP Challenger of the Year in 2014.

Former World No. 4 James Blake came from behind to beat Younes El Aynaoui 4-6, 6-3, 10-8 in an absorbing Champions Tennis contest at the Royal Albert Hall on Friday evening.

While El Aynaoui, 44, was the steadier of the two players for much of the match, Blake eventually found his rhythm. Some crunching returns and trademark forehands helped turn the tide in his favour and he edged a nail-biting Champions Tie-break on his third match point.

WATCH: Point of the Day

Victory for the American means he keeps his qualification hopes alive. The outcome of Group A will be determined on Saturday afternoon when El Aynaoui meets Tim Henman.

The winner of the Group will play defending champion Fernando Gonzalez in Sunday’s final.

Elsewhere on Friday, Xavier Malisse overcame Magnus Larsson 7-6, 7-5 in Group B. Larsson was replacing the injured Sebastien Grosjean.

Continuing our Season In Review Series, ATPWorldTour.com revisits the best ATP World Tour matches of 2015. In today’s countdown we feature Nos. 5-3:

Milos Raonic d. Rafael Nadal 4-6, 7-6(10), 7-5/QF/Indian Wells

Asked what makes Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal stand out from the rest of the pack, Milos Raonic asserted, “You have a complete range of emotions that everybody and anybody can face. It’s just how you deal with them that really makes a difference, that separates the three guys that are at the top from everybody else.”

The Canadian handled his emotions quite well during his quarter-final match-up with Nadal at the BNP Paribas Open, where he saved three match points to claim his first win over the Spaniard, 4-6, 7-6(10), 7-5.

“At the moments when I was playing those match points, it didn’t really feel like match points,” said Raonic. “It was just like another point that I was trying to get through. [I was] just sort of going through the paces at that moment of what do I need to do now, not really signifying it as a match point.”

In reaching his fifth ATP World Tour Masters 1000 semi-final, Raonic ended Nadal’s perfect record against Canadians.

The World No. 6 was broken for the first time in the tournament as the three-time champion Nadal took a 2-1 lead in the opening set, which he went on to win in 36 minutes. Raonic saved three match points in the second-set tie-break to force a third set.

Raonic finally earned a crucial break in the third set to go up 6-5 and a chance to serve out the match. He fired 19 aces and saved six of his seven break points faced in the two-hour, 58-minute victory.

“I feel all sorts of good,” said Raonic. “There was a lot of up and down through that match, and all I could ask of myself was just keep competing and hope to find a way. I got fortunate a few times and it worked out.”

“I think I did well,” said Nadal. “I enjoyed the fact that I felt good on court again. I felt competitive. I felt strong, with the right energy. I lost that match thinking much more positively than negatively.”

Gael Monfils d. Alexandr Dolgopolov 7-6(5), 7-6(6)/R32/Monte-Carlo

It looked as if Alexandr Dolgopolov was on his way to run-of-the-mill victory. After all, the 26-year-old Ukrainian had broken Gael Monfils to take a 5-4 lead in the opening-set of their Round of 32 match at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters.

But Monfils had a few tricks up his sleeve. The 28-year-old Frenchman quickly returned the favor with a break of his own, and managed to steal the stanza in a tense tie-break. A tie-break would be needed to decide the second set, too, after both players lost their service games twice, Monfils booking his place in the third round against Roger Federer with a one-hour, 51-minute 7-6(5) 7-6(6) nail-biter.

There was no lack of flair between these gifted shotmakers, a must-see match that featured highlight after highlight. 

Serving at 7-6(5), 1-2, Monfils completely faked out his opponent (and the crowd) when, following a forehand into the net, he pulled off a half-hearted backhand volley. But here’s where he fooled us: he turned his back, shaking his head as if to concede the point. Dolgopolov, picking up on the Frenchman’s indifference, promptly chased down the volley and smacked what he surely believed was an uncontested forehand winner. But Monfils came to life, spun around and swatted a crosscourt forehand pass of his own, a sly grin and a wink at his coach telling us that he was in control all along.

“He was very creative,” said Monfils, who improved to 3-0 in their FedEx ATP Head2Head. “He does things differently. Sometimes he makes two or three mistakes, so you think you’re all right. Suddenly, he plays three wonderful returns. That’s annoying. But I tried to play each point being positive. It was good tennis.”

Fabio Fognini d. Federico Delbonis 6-4, 6-7(10), 7-6(9)/QF/Rio

It was the kind of match that needed to be seen to be believed; a surreal quarter-final that had a little something for everybody. Fabio Fognini would need nine match points to defeat Argentine baseliner Federico Delbonis 6-4, 6-7(10), 7-6(9) in a three-hour, 12-minute Friday night thriller at the Rio Open.

In a match that featured more than its fair share of momentum shifts and mood swings, the Italian trailed 1-5 in the second set before forcing a tie-break, where he would squander his first of three match points. Somehow, Delbonis managed to force a third set. The real drama came in the final-set tie-break, where Fognini failed to capitalise on five more match points. But after three hours and 12 minutes, he finally closed out the emotionally- and physically-draining match.

“It was really difficult, really tough,” said Fognini. “It was long. Before I closed the match, I had eight match points. But I’m really happy.”
