Nadal said he would work hard to be ready for the start of the next season. The second set went with serve until the eighth game, when Goffin broke to earn a chance to serve for the match, only for Nadal to break back. Nadal has won 75 singles titles in his illustrious career, including 16 Grand Slams and 30 Masters events but he has yet to triumph at the ATP Finals, played on quick indoor courts rather than his favoured clay. The elegant Bulgarian had the edge for most of an enthralling contest of one-handed backhands but admitted he felt "pretty nervous" in his first appearance at the ATP Finals. The ATP Finals feature the top eight fit male singles players and doubles teams that have accrued the most points throughout the 2017 season.
