In what is shaping up to be the new top rivalry in tennis, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray whacked the bounce out of the ball for three more gruelling sets Wednesday at the ATP finals.

Advantage, Djokovic. The top-ranked Serb got the big break when he needed it late in the third set and held off Murray 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 at O2 Arena.

Djokovic still hasn't advanced to the semifinals at the tournament for the top eight players. Tomas Berdych beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-5, 3-6, 6-1, keeping all four players alive.
