SHANGHAI, China --Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal already
have clinched berths in the eight-player Tennis Masters Cup singles
tournament.
Twins Bob and Mike Bryan have secured a spot in the doubles
portion of the Nov. 11-18 event, which will be held in Shanghai for
the third consecutive year.
The top-ranked Federer, who won the season-ending tournament in
2003, 2004 and 2006, is 36-5 this year with four titles, including
at Wimbledon and the Australian Open.
No. 2 Nadal leads the tour with 51 match wins and five titles,
including at the French Open.
"I am very happy to have qualified for the Masters again this
year," Nadal said Monday. "This was one of my goals for the year
and I have managed to do it pretty early, so that's great."
