LONDON, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- World No. 7 Tomas Berdych from Czech Republic grabbed 1 the last semifinal place by beating Spain's David Ferrer 3-6, 7-5 and 6-1 at the ATP World Tour Finals on Friday.
Berdych, 26, had to win the last Group A match to reach the last four while the world No. 5 Ferrer has booked his berth 2 two days ago after taking two straight set victories.
The world No. 1 Djokovic failed to qualify 3 as he lost to Janko Tipsarevic 6-3, 3-6 and 3-6 earlier on Friday and had to pin his hope on Ferrer defeating Berdych.
