Nikolay Davydenko became the first Russian to win the season-ending
ATP World Tour Finals with a brilliant display against Argentina's
Juan Martin del Potro. The 28-year-old claimed the biggest title of
his career, and a large cheque for just over £900,000, with a 6-3 6-4
defeat of the US Open champion.
Davydenko, who beat Rafael Nadal, Robin Soderling and Roger
Federer on his way to the final, was sharper throughout as
Del Potro appeared to be feeling the after-effects of his
semi-final win over Soderling the previous evening. when
Asked afterwards if it had felt better to beat Federer for
the first time ever on Saturday, or to win the title on
Sunday, Davydenko said: "For sure, to win the championship.
"To win a trophy is always something important in the career of a
tennis player. It was important to beat Federer in the semi-final,
but a final is different."
For the eighth successive day, around 17,000 spectators packed into
the O2 Arena that has proved such a success on its debut as host to
the most prestigious event outside the four Grand Slams.

Roddick pulls out of London
World number six Andy Roddick has withdrawn from the forthcoming World Tour Finals in London with injury. The 27-year-old American, who lost an epic Wimbledon men's singles final in the capital in July, has been sidelined for five weeks with a knee problem. Roddick said: "I'm really disappointed. I love playing in London and I've heard so many good things about the venue."
The American said: " I have not fully recovered from my knee injury and I won't be able to compete. One of my goals in 2010 will be to qualify for this event again."
Sweden's Robin Soderling will replace him at the end-of-season finale, which begins on Sunday. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray are among those taking part in the tournament at the O2 Arena.

Nadal Saves 5 M.P. To beat Almagro
Second-seeded Spaniard Rafael Nadal was forced to draw upon all his experience to beat Spanish compatriot Nicolas Almagro 3-6, 7-6(2), 7-5 Wednesday at the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris. Nadal saved five match points at 5-6 in the second set and recovered from a 3-5 deficit in the deciding set, to clinch victory in three hours and 15 minutes.
Nadal's stunning victory - and Roger Federer's shock opening-round loss to Frenchman Julien Benneteau - has suddenly thrust the Spaniard back into contention to claim the 2009 ATP World Tour Champion title. Following Wednesday's results, Nadal trailed Federer by 1,215 points, but he would cut that margin to a mere 305 points should he go on this week to win his 16th ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title.

A look at Berkshire Hathaway’s Annual Returns
This is pretty incredible to think about. Below is a year-by-year listing of Berkshire Hathaway’s year-end closing prices for their Class A stock.
It’s pretty incredible to think that a $20.50 investment at the end of 1967 would have been worth $141,600 at the end of 2007. That’s an average annual rate of return of 24.73% over each of those forty years! Had you purchased just 100 shares (a $2,050 investment + brokerage fees) of Berkshire at the end of 1967, you would have had over $14.1 MILLION at the end of 2007.
