Rafael Nadal ensured he will end the year as world number one with victory over Stanislas Wawrinka at the ATP World Tour Finals in London. The Spaniard, 27, won 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (8-6) to secure a semi-final place and guarantee he cannot be overtaken by world number two Novak Djokovic. It will be the third time Nadal - who called it "the perfect scenario" - has finished a year top of the rankings. Wawrinka was playing the more spectacular winners but, just as in the first set, it was Nadal who prevailed when the pressure was really on in the tie-break. The Spaniard clinched victory after two hours and 12 minutes when Wawrinka made his 23rd forehand error of the match. Good news for Spain. Go Nadal
