ARRIVING IN SHANGHAI VIA PARIS

MASTERS CUP : RODDICK THROUGH

With his win over Gilles Simon and Juan Martin del Potro's loss to David Nalbandian, Andy Roddick has secured his berth at the Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai in 10 days time. Del Potro and Simon are still seventh and eighth, and will qualify unless Blake or Tsonga make the final here or Nalbandian, Verdasco or Monfils win the tournament.

No. 13 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga recorded his second successive victory in three meetings over No. 3 seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia with a 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 win in one hour and 54 minutes. Tsonga, who captured his first ATP title over Djokovic in Bangkok last month, is 41 points behind No. 8-placed Simon in the ATP 2008 Race.
