Scotland’s Andy Murray has been drawn with Roger Federer, Kei Nishikori and Milos Raonic in Group B of next week’s ATP World Tour Finals.

The prestigious tournament will take place at London’s O2 Arena from November 9-16 and features eight of the world’s top nine players, with only world No. 3 Rafael Nadal absent through injury.

Top seed Novak Djokovic, Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka, Czech Tomas Berdych and Marin Cilic of Croatia are in Group A.

Murray and Federer have each won 11 of their career meetings while the Scot has a 3-0 winning record against Nishikori but trails Raonic 3-1 in their head-to-head.

Sky Sports pundit Mark Petchey believes Murray will fancy his chances of progressing from his group and thinks he will be pleased to have avoided Djokovic, who has defeated him on four consecutive occasions. ...SkySports
