Roddick reaches final four

November 15, 2003 10:25 IST

World number one Andy Roddick battled past feisty Argentine Guillermo Coria 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 on Friday to book the last semi-final berth at the ATP Masters Cup after four days of round-robin play at the eight-man event.

Having clinched the year-end world number one honours earlier in the $3.65 million tournament, Roddick is closing in on his seventh title of the season and winner's purse of $1.4 million.

Roddick's win sets up an intriguing semi-final

showdown with Roger Federer, the raw, brute power of the U.S. Open champion against the finesse and all-round game of the Swiss Wimbledon champion.

The other semi-final will also feature a grand slam winner, Australian Open champion Andre Agassi taking on the surprise player of the tournament, Rainer Schuettler of Germany.
