Jo-Wilfried Tsonga survived a scare of a match today by defeating the latest qualifier for Shanghai, Andy Roddick. The score was an extremely close 57 64 76(5). Tsonga will next play another Shanghai hopeful, James Blake. The stakes couldn't be higher. If Blake wins the match, he will qualify for Shanghai and if Tsonga wins the match he will qualify for Shanghai regarding that Nalbandian loses his semifinal match.
Both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer were forced to pull out of their matches with injuries. Nadal retired because of a knee injury and Federer gave Blake a walkover because of a back injury. The other semifinal will have Nikolay Davydenko and David Nalbandian battling for a place in the final.
