Top seeds Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer remain on course to meet in Shanghai after reaching the last four.

World number one Nadal beat Grigor Dimitrov 6-4 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 to register his 15th consecutive win and will face fourth seed Marin Cilic in the semis.

Federer will play Juan Martin del Potro in the second semi-final on Saturday - if the Argentine is fit enough to play.

Del Potro overcame a wrist injury to beat Viktor Troicki 4-6 6-1 6-4, while Federer beat Richard Gasquet 7-5 6-4.

It was revealed Del Potro had suffered a "wrist contusion", and the 16th seed will decide on Saturday morning whether he is able to face Federer.

Briton Jamie Murray and Brazil's Bruno Soares reached the doubles semi-finals with a 6-1 7-6 (8-6) victory over Raven Klaasen and Rajeev Ram.

Victory ensured the pair, who have won two Grand Slams and six titles together, qualified for the ATP World Tour Finals in London next month.

Nadal is chasing a tour-leading seventh title this season, and beat Bulgaria's Dimitrov for the second time in a week following his semi-final victory at the China Open.

The Spaniard, 31, breezed through the first set but was unable to break Dimitrov in the second, and the Bulgarian was strong in the tie-break to force a deciding set.
