DEFENDING champion Roger Federer guaranteed his place in the last four of the ATP World Tour Finals with a win over David Ferrer on Thursday but Janko Tipsarevic became the first player eliminated after a second defeat in London.
World No. 2 Federer, seeking a record-extending seventh title at the end-of-season finale, dished out yet more punishment to Ferrer in a 6-4, 7-6 (5) victory, taking his career record over the Spaniard to 14-0.
Ferrer is now vying with Juan Martin del Potro for the other semifinal spot from Group B after the towering Argentine pummelled Serbia's Tipsarevic 6-0, 6-4.
Tipsarevic, who pulled out of the Paris Masters last week after feeling unwell and hardly practised since arriving, has managed eight games in four sets and cannot reach the semifinals even if he beats Ferrer in his final round-robin match.
Del Potro, beaten by Ferrer in his first match, will probably need to beat Swiss Federer in his final group match.
Group A will untangle itself when world No. 1 Novak Djokovic plays Tomas Berdych and Andy Murray takes on winless Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
