London, England (SportsNetwork.com) - Reigning two-time champion Novak Djokovic was an easy winner Monday in round-robin action at the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals. The world No. 1 star dismantled eighth-seeded U.S. Open champ Marin Cilic 6-1, 6-1 in a mere 56 minutes at The O2. Djokovic piled up six breaks of serve, compared to only one for the overmatched Cilic. The three-time Tour Finals titlist Djokovic topped Rafael Nadal in last years finale in London. Nadal is not playing this year after undergoing surgery to remove his appendix, which opened the door for Cilic to qualify for this exclusive eight-player event. Djokovic (1-0) heads up this weeks four-player Group A, which also features Stan Wawrinka (1-0), Tomas Berdych (0-1) and Cilic (0-1). The 27-year-old Djokovic is now two wins away from clinching the year-end No. 1 ranking for the third time in four years. Also on Day 2 in London, the third-seeded Australian Open champion Wawrinka flattened the sixth-seeded former Wimbledon runner-up Berdych 6-1, 6-1 in a brisk 58-minute affair. Wawrinka broke his Czech counterpart five times while holding his quality serve throughout on Monday. The world No. 4 Wawrinka had been stuck in a rut since losing in the U.S. Open quarterfinals, winning only one tour match since, but the Swiss played some of his best tennis of the year on Monday. I didnt expect to win that easy, for sure, said Wawrinka. But I was ready to play well. I had a great week of preparation. Today, the start of the match was really important. That changed it completely. This weeks other four-player group, or Group B, features second-seeded Roger Federer (1-0), fourth-seeded U.S. Open runner-up Kei Nishikori (1-0), fifth- seeded home crowd favorite Andy Murray (0-1), and seventh-seeded Milos Raonic (0-1). Nishikori, Raonic and Cilic are making their Tour Finals debuts this week. On Tuesday, Federer will face Nishikori and Murray will battle Raonic. Federer handled Raonic and Nishikori upset Murray in straight sets on Sunday. Federer, who is making a record 13th consecutive appearance at the Tour Finals and has an outside chance of capturing the year-end top ranking, holds the record for the most titles at this tournament with six. Round-robin action will be staged here through Friday, followed by the semifinals on Saturday and lucrative final on Sunday.

Troy Tulowitzki just hopes no one will hold any grudges when he picks the National League participants for the Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game. The Colorado Rockies shortstop will serve as captain of the NL side and select the four other members for the derby. Jose Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays is in charge of the American League. "To be the captain, I dont know if thats something Im looking forward to because of how tough the decisions are going to be," Tulowitzki said Monday before the Rockies played the St. Louis Cardinals. "You cant put everybody that wants to participate on your team. So with that, you open yourself up. "But, at the same time, Im honoured to be the National League captain." The event will be held July 14 at Target Field, the night before the showcase game in Minneapolis. Bautista is a two-time major league home run champion. Tulowitzki has hit at least 25 homers in three of the past four seasons. Although the honour was just recently bestowed on Tulowitzki, hes already mulling over his options. Giancarlo Stanton of Miami is high on his list, especially since he leads the league in homers with 20. Yasiel Puig of the Los Angeles Dodgers is also a consideration. Tulowitzki may even select teammate Justin Morneau, especially since the first baseman came up in the Twins organization and it would be a homecoming. "That would be neat for him," said Tulowitzki, who has 18 homers this season.dddddddddddd. "Obviously, hes a guy I have a relationship with." Given Tulowitzkis relationship with St. Louis outfielder Matt Holliday, he could be a pick, too. Tulowitzki spent some time catching up with his former teammate before Mondays game. Did Holliday lobby to be included? "I dont think so," Tulowitzki said, smiling. "Holliday is just a good friend of mine, someone that I have a great deal of respect for. "If he wanted to participate, hed definitely be someone on the list, but he wasnt (lobbying)." Tulowitzki is hoping players around the NL reach out to him. Rockies pitcher Brett Anderson, whos currently on the disabled list, wrote on his Twitter account: "Fingers crossed Tulo picks me for the home run derby!" Hes listening -- and doesnt want to hear excuses about how the derby may mess up a batters stroke. "You take a look during (batting practice), sometimes Ill go out there and try to hit a home run on every single pitch," Tulowitzki explained. "Its no different from being in the Home Run Derby. "Those are my thoughts. I dont really want to entertain that thought, either. You get back on track. And if youre not doing good, you put some (work in the cage). Its not because of a Home Run Derby." ' ' '
