Greg Rusedski says Novak Djokovic continued to step out of Roger Federer's shadow with his ATP World Tour Finals victory.
Wimbledon champion Federer was not at his consistent best throughout 2012, as highlighted by his quarter-final exit at the US Open, and in London he suffered a surprise defeat to Juan Martin Del Potro during the round robin phase. But Rusedski says his performance in the final showed he was capable of challenging for the world number one spot again next season. "Don't put anything out of Roger Federer's reach," he added. "We keep writing him off. We said he was never going to win another major and he won Wimbledon and he got to the finals here when we said he wasn't playing great against Del Potro. "Maybe he'll come back and surprise us all and win? He's playing great tennis and Djokovic had to play his best tennis to find a way to win."
