World number one Roger Federer crushed Spanish rival Rafael Nadal 6-4 6-1 to reach the final of the season-ending Masters Cup.
    The Swiss will play Nadal's countryman David Ferrer in tomorrow's final at the showcase eight-man event in Shanghai after the Spaniard's 6-1 6-3 thrashing of Andy Roddick in the first semi-final.
    Federer, chasing a fourth Masters Cup title in five years, took just 59 minutes to see off Nadal in his most emphatic win over the world number two to date.
    "It was one of those nights," the 12-times grand slam champion told reporters. "I wish I could play like that against him every time. I got in the zone and played incredibly."
