Roger Federer of Switzerland returns against David Ferrer of Spain at the end of their semi-final singles match on day seven of the ATP World Tour Finals tennis tournament in London yesterday.
Roger Federer reached his 100th career final, beating David Ferrer 7-5, 6-3 yesterday in the semifinals of the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals and gaining the year-end No. 3 ranking.
In a tournament where his biggest rivals complained of fatigue after failing to make it out of the group stage, Federer showed no signs of slowing down. The 30-year-old Swiss extended his unbeaten streak to 16 matches after winning titles in Basel and Paris before coming to London.
Federer became just the fifth player to reach 100 finals in the open era. He will be looking for his 70th title Sunday when he faces the winner of the second semifinal between Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Tomas Berdych
The victory over Ferrer sent Federer past Andy Murray in the year-end rankings, trailing No. 1 Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
Djokovic and Nadal were eliminated after losing two of their round-robin matches this week, both saying their minds and bodies weren't up for top-level tennis following another grueling season. Murray pulled out injured following his opening loss to Ferrer on Monday.
