The British No1 has been placed in Group A along with world No1 Roger Federer, US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro and the dangerous Fernando Verdasco.

Today's draw ceremony at the London Eye put Murray (right) into by far the tougher of the two sections for the season's finale, which is being staged in London for the first time.

The group will feature a rematch of the US Open Final between Federer and Del Potro, providing the Argentine recovers fully from an abdominal strain.

Murray holds a 6-3 win-loss record against Federer, including a victory over the Swiss in the group stages of last year's tournament, then known as the Masters Cup. However, the Scot, ranked No4 in the world, lost when the pair last faced each other in Cincinnati in August.

Murray, who needs to finish in the top two in the group to qualify for the semi-finals, has a 4-1 record against Del Potro and a 7-1 head-to-head against Verdasco, although the Spaniard won in January when they met at the Australian Open and is serving well at the end of the year.

Group B will be headed by Australian Open champion Rafael Nadal, a player who could yet deny Federer the year-end No1 ranking with a good display in London.

However, the Spaniard will face a tough challenge from Serbia's Novak Djokovic, a player who beat him last week on his way to the Paris Masters title. Russian Nikolay Davydenko and Sweden's Robin Soderling, a late replacement for injured American Andy Roddick, make up Group B.

More than 260,000 tickets have already been sold for the tournament.
