We asked the rest of the Sky Sports Tennis panel to give their predictions. See how our pundits think the ATP World Tour Finals will go.
The blockbuster week of action gets underway at London's O2 Arena, live on Sky Sports this week.
Presenters and experts of the game have had their say on the big week ahead. See who are they backing for victory this year? Find out below and then cast your vote...
Marcus Buckland
The winner is ... Stan Wawrinka
Naturally the focus is on the year-end No 1 position with Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic perhaps on a collision course to decide everything in a dream final.
As much as I would love to see that I have a sneaking feeling, based on nothing but gut instinct, that Stan Wawrinka is going to provide a twist and add another notable, and unexpected title to his burgeoning CV.
When he's hot he's boiling and the reigning US Open champion has shown in the past that he can play lights out tennis at the 02. His recent semi-final against Roger Federer (albeit a match he lost) was arguably the best in the history of the event since it moved to London. Very quiet recently Stan has what it takes to be the man again.
Peter Fleming
The winner is... Andy Murray (but only just)
You have to say Andy Murray is the favourite. He's the guy who has played so well over the past six months really and the way Novak Djokovic has played over the same period really, he's not nearly as confident and not mentally where he wants to be.
But, he could get it back quickly because his record is so good over the last four years. His record is 18-1 over that time, or something. Andy's record is only 4-7, it means if Novak can regroup quickly, he can be a real match.
If we can get those two guys in the final next Sunday, then what an epic that will be. I've give Murray a 51-49 shot over Novak.
Leif Shiras
The winner is ... Andy Murray
Difficult selection with the talent here. I'm happy to go with Andy Murray. I feel like he's in that special place where he's never been before.
The confidence level is high. Ivan Lendl is here this week to make sure there's no let up and that's he's continuing to play the tennis he is playing and continue to do the things he needs to do which is be aggressive with the forehand, continue to serve well.
Obviously he's in great physical condition so I'm going to go with Andy.
Barry Millns
The winner is ... Andy Murray
Despite being drawn in the tougher group I think Andy Murray will go on and win the title.
He's in the form of his life, the incentive to hang onto his new world No 1 ranking will be immense, the crowd support for him should be greater than ever before (with Federer and Nadal both absent) and if the surface is quicker this year (as the build-up has suggested) then I believe that can work well for him as it did in Asia, as well as back in the summer at Queen's and Wimbledon.
