Nadal needed two matches to win at London - which he did by beating David Ferrer and Stanislas Wawrinka.
Although, match agaionst Ferrer was peanuts, but Stanislas Wawrinka gave him the toughest battle yesterday and it was a neck to neck match which finally nadal won 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (8-6) to secure a semi-final place and guarantee he cannot be overtaken by world number two Novak Djokovic.
It will be the third time Nadal - who called it "the perfect scenario" - has finished a year top of the rankings.
Having lost to Djokovic in the ATP Paris recently, Nadal need two wins in succession to maintain his number one title - which he now has.
