World No. 2 Rafael Nadal moved into the Paris Masters quarter-finals with a 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 win over Tommy Robredo underlining his threat to unseat Roger Federer as World No. 1 by the end of this year. With Federer a shock loser to Frenchman Julien Benneteau on Wednesday, a win for Nadal in Sunday's final would leave him just 305 points adrift of his arch rival with the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals to come in London later this month. In the second match Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic beat English player Andy Murray's by 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the Paris Indoor Masters.
