Russia's Nikolay Davydenko moved closer to a spot at the World Tour Finals in London by crushing German Benjamin Becker 6-2 6-1 in the second round of the Paris Masters on Wednesday.
World number seven Davydenko, who will make sure of entering the November 22-29 season finale with a semi-final appearance here, took only 78 minutes to brush aside the unseeded Becker.
The 28-year-old Russian, who won the Paris indoor event in 2006 and is seeded sixth this year, will now meet Croatia's Ivo Karlovic or Swede Robin Soderling.
All the world's top 10 players except the injured Andy Roddick are in the French capital, where the last two tickets to the eight-man World Tour finals are up for grabs with Davydenko and Spaniard Fernando Verdasco first in line.
