Tsonga Tops Nadal To Join Federer In SFs

Sixth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga became the first Frenchman in three years to qualify for the semi-finals at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, with a 7-6(2), 4-6, 6-3 victory over second seed and last year's runner-up Rafael Nadal on Thursday. Tsonga finished Group B play with a 2-1 record.

The 26-year-old Tsonga, who is appearing at the year-end championship for the first time in three years, hit 11 aces, 46 winners and almost as many unforced errors, 45. It was his third win in nine meetings against Nadal, who won three of 12 net points and committed 24 unforced errors.
