PARIS (Reuters) - David Ferrer reached his first grand slam final when he beat local favourite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-1 7-6(3) 6-2 in a one-sided French Open semi-final on Friday to set up an all-Spanish clash with seven-times champion Rafa Nadal.

Fourth seed Ferrer, yet to drop a set at Roland Garros this year, was barely challenged by sixth seed Tsonga who was unable to focus throughout the match.
