Britain's Andy Murray has been drawn alongside world number one Roger Federer in the group stages of the ATP World Tour Finals.

Murray, seeded four, was placed in the same group as the Wimbledon champion at Wednesday's draw ceremony at the London Eye.

The world number four will also take on US Open champion Juan Martin Del Potro and Fernando Verdasco in Group A at the O2 Arena.

The group will therefore also feature a rematch of the US Open final between Federer and Del Potro, providing the Argentine overcomes an abdominal injury.

Group B will be headed by world number two and Australian Open champion Rafael Nadal.

However, he will face a tough challenge from pre-tournament favourite Novak Djokovic, a player who beat him last week en route to the Paris Masters title.

Russia's Nikolay Davydenko and Swede Robin Soderling, a late replacement for the injured Andy Roddick, make up Group B.

The top two players from each group will contest the semi-finals before the final takes place on November 29.

The ATP's season-ending finale gets underway on Sunday live on Sky Sports Xtra.
