Novak Djokovic’s successful defense of the Rogers Cup 2012 title on Sunday means that the six contested ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events so far this season have been won by the world’s top three players – and noticeably, they’ve split the titles by two each.
Here’s the breakdown so far:
Indian Wells: Roger Federer (SUI) [def. John Isner]
Miami Masters: Novak Djokovic (SRB) [def. Andy Murray]
Monte Carlo Masters: Rafael Nadal (ESP) [def. Novak Djokovic]
Madrid Masters: Roger Federer (SUI) [def. Tomas Berdych]
Rome Masters: Rafael Nadal (ESP) [def. Novak Djokovic]
Toronto Masters: Novak Djokovic (SRB) [def. Richard Gasquet]
The Cincinnati Masters has just begun and the defending champion is world number four Andy Murray. Let’s tune in and check if Murray can break the dominance of the world’s top three in ATP 1000 Masters events this season. It is important to note that Murray has just won the 2012 London Olympics men’s singles gold which could potentially change his fortunes in Grand Slam events. He has yet to win a Grand Slam singles titles but came close four times in the past – including a runner up finish at the 2012 Wimbledon Championships.
