| | Tennis Nadal, Djokovic advance in ATP Finals LONDON (UPI) -- World No. 1 Rafael Nadal won the last five games of his Friday match and secured a spot in the semifinals of the ATP World Tour Finals.
Nadal topped No. 6-seeded Tomas Berdych 7-6 (7-3), 6-1 in completing a 3-0 run through the Group A round robin. Berdych finished 1-2.
Novak Djokovic then claimed the final semifinal berth with a 6-2, 6-3 decision over Andy Roddick.
Second-seeded Roger Federer, like Nadal unbeaten this week, and No. 5 Andy Murray qualified Thursday for the semifinals from Group B.
Friday's win marked the first match this week that Nadal did not have to rally from a deficit. He faced only two break points -- both in the first set. Neither player earned a break in the first set but Nadal won the first three points of the tie-breaker and got to set point when Berdych had a double fault. Berdych has six double faults in the match.
Nadal controlled the second set. He won on serve to go ahead 2-1 then took the final three points in a 14-point Berdych service game, setting off the five-game run to finish the match.
Djokovic needed to win just one set in his match against Roddick to advance and he quickly did that en route to an eventual victory. Roddick had won their previous three meetings.
