LONDON (Reuters) - Six-times champion Roger Federer was paired in the same group as German debutant Alexander Zverev for next week's ATP Tour Finals when the draw was made in host city London on Wednesday. Federer will kick off the tournament, which has been held in London's 02 Arena since 2009, against Sock on Sunday with Zverev facing Cilic in the later session. Zverev, 20, has taken men's tennis by storm this year, rocketing up to number three in the world rankings after winning five titles, including two Masters 1000 events. He is one of three first-timers with Dimitrov finally qualifying after being long-predicted to become a regular member of the men's elite. Several big names are missing this year through injury including 2016 winner Andy Murray, four-times London winner Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka.
