MANILA, Philippines – Rafael Nadal put fellow Spaniard David Ferrer firmly in his place as he opened his ATP World Tour Finals challenge with a crushing victory at the O2 Arena. Ferrer had beaten Nadal in the semi-finals of the Paris Masters, but Nadal had the upper hand this time around as the world No. 1 profited from Ferrer’s error-strewn performance. Nadal joins Stanislas Wawrinka on top of Group A with one win. He needs one more victory at the season-ending tournament to finish 2013 on top of the ATP rankings. -- Mornings @ ANC, November 6, 2013.
