Kevin Anderson on the verge of making history
Kevin Anderson is on the verge of making personal tennis history after his emphatic victory over Kei Nishikori at the ATP Tour Finals in London.
Anderson took a losing 3-5 record into the match against Nishikori, their third meeting in four weeks.
He emerged with Nishikori shell-shocked after a 6-0 6-1 drubbing in just an hour and five minutes.
It was also a landmark moment for Anderson, who has now set a new career-high of 47 victories in a calendar year.
However, Anderson is not guaranteed a place in the knockout stages because of Roger Federer's straight sets win over Dominic Thiem.
Anderson plays Federer on Thursday.
A win will guarantee him a place in the semi-finals, but if he losses and Nishikori beats Thiem then we have a three-way tie in the group.
If that is the case, the following method is used to determine who goes through:
1) Highest percentage of sets won;
2) Highest percentage of games won;
3) Players' ATP Rankings coming into the tournament.
If Anderson does go through he will become the first African player ever to reach the finals last four.
