Goffin tops Federer at ATP Finals

- By Sam Johnston

LONDON » A set up against a man he’d never lost to, Roger Federer looked to be cruising toward a shot at a seventh ATP Finals title. David Goffin had other ideas.

The Belgian rallied in the semifinals on Saturday to claim the biggest win of his career and stun the favorite 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.

“It is the best win of my career, for sure,” said Goffin. “I started to feel the ball better at the end of the first set, so I wanted to be more aggressive. It paid off . ... ”

His opponent on Sunday in the final will be Grigor Dimitrov, who defeated Jack Sock 4-6, 6-0, 6-3.

It looked ominous for Goffin when the six-time champion broke twice on his way to winning the first set. However, Federer wasted two game points in the second game of the second set. Goffin produced a forehand passing shot to take his first break point of the match.

“It’s been an amazing year for me,” Federer said. “Been so happy that I was playing at this level from the beginning till basically the end, till today.”
