Tennis: Berdych to play Nadal again

Tomas Berdych reignited his hopes at the ATP World Tour Finals with a straight-sets win over David Ferrer. A 6-4 6-4 victory in Group A brought the Czech back into contention for the semi-finals, after he lost his opening match to Stanislas Wawrinka. Berdych, 28, will play world number one Rafael Nadal, who is already through to the last four, in his final round-robin match on Friday. Wawrinka can still take the second qualifying spot but Ferrer is out. Berdych has lost his last 15 matches against Nadal, and his last win came back in 2006. "Matches against him are always like a final because you're playing the number one player in the world," said Berdych." Every time you go on court with him it's amazing. It's already many, many matches that he's won [against me] and I need to do something about that." Lol, my verdict, its Nadal all the way, sorry Tomas.

Nadal to become World number One before the year runs out

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
