LONDON, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Switzerland's Roger Federer and Scot Andy Murray won their openers Sunday in Group A Competition at the eight-man ATP World Tour Finals in London.
Federer, the French Open and Wimbledon champion, dropped the first set but battled back to defeat Spaniard Fernando Verdasco 4-6, 7-5, 6-1.
Murray jumped to a 5-0 lead in the first set, fell behind early in the second and took a 4-1 advantage in the third on the way to a 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 decision over Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina.
"Me and Juan haven't played that much since the U.S. Open." Murray said. "I kind of expected a little bit of a scrappy match maybe. He didn't start particularly well, but after 5-0 (in the opening set) I thought the standard was very good. Played some great points. Obviously happy to get the win."
Play in Group B will begin Monday with Spain's Rafael Nadal taking on Robin Soderling of Sweden and Serb Novak Djokovic meeting Nikolay Davydenko of Russia.
The tournament ends the season on the ATP Tour.
