FERRER, NADAL, RODDICK IN SEMIS

Sixth-ranked David Ferrer dominated No. 8 Richard Gasquet 6-1, 6-1 Thursday to reach the Masters Cup semifinals, and helped friend and fellow Spaniard Rafael Nadal along with him.

Ferrer's easy 59-minute victory also allowed No. 2-ranked Nadal to advance from the Gold Group of the round-robin phase by eliminating Gasquet. Nadal earlier beat No. 3 Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4 in a match between players tired from a long season. He finished 2-1 in round-robin play.

On Friday, top-ranked Roger Federer will seek a semifinal place when he faces No. 5 Andy Roddick, who already has clinched his semifinals berth. Fourth-ranked Nikolay Davydenko faces No. 7 Fernando Gonzalez in the other Red Group match.
