World No. 1 Rafael Nadal and second-seeded Andy Murray both scored hard-fought victories to reach the semifinals of the 1.44-million-euro ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on Friday. Nadal, the newly crowned Australian Open champion, was extended Friday evening to three sets by No. 7 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, but eventually won 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-4. This is the second consecutive three-set match for the world's best player in as many days.

When Murray was 3-0 up in the deciding set, Gicquel retired citing a left groin injury.

In a late-night all-French quarterfinal, 5th seeded Gael Monfils will take on Julien Benneteau.
