American Andy Roddick, Czech Tomas Berdych and Spaniard David Ferrer have claimed the remaining qualifying spots for the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) World Tour Finals in London.

The players will be joining Spaniard Rafael Nadal, Swiss Roger Federer, Serbian Novak Djokovic, Scott Andy Murray and Swede Robin Soderling in the eight-man tournament that takes place from November 21-28.

It will be the first appearance at the season finale for 2010 Wimbledon finalist Berdych.

The final spots were decided when Frenchman Gael Monfils scored a third-round victory over Spain's Fernando Verdasco at the Paris Masters.

Verdasco needed to reach the final to have any hope of qualifying for the elite indoor hard-court tournament.

Russian Nikolay Davydenko defeated Argentine Juan Martin del Potro to claim the 2009 title. Neither will be playing in this year's edition.

Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.
