Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal has stormed into the final of the ATP World Tour Finals in London with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Roger Federer.

According to Sport24, Federer, a six-time winner of the event, had reached the last three finals, winning twice before losing to Novak Djokovic last year.

Nadal said that it was the perfect way to finish the season, which was probably one of the best seasons of his career.

Federer said that he had struggled to stay consistent enough throughout the match and that is why Nadal deserved to win.

Nadal has now reached 14 finals since his return from seven months out with knee tendinitis, winning 10 titles including the French and US Opens, the report said.
