Nadal was heading fourth seed Tomas Berdych 4-2 in the first set of their semi-last when his Czech adversary was compelled to resign with a back harm.
The 27-year-old Spaniard, who won the French Open and US Open in the not so distant future, was last top of the rankings in July 2011.
Current planet number one Novak Djokovic will play French fifth seed Richard Gasquet in Saturday's other semi-last.
Nadal came back to activity in February eight months later on the sidelines with knee issues.
He has won 10 titles since making his comeback and has not lost a match since being demolished by Belgian planet number 135 Steve Darcis in the first round at Wimbledon in June.
