PARIS, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Spaniard Fernando Verdasco grabbed the last remaining spot for the World Tour Finals in London without playing on Friday.

Swede Robin Soderling and Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's defeats in the Paris Masters quarter-finals mean Verdasco becomes the eighth player to qualify for the Nov. 22-29 season finale for the world's top eight player.

Verdasco, who lost in the third round of the Paris tournament, joins Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Juan Martin del Potro, Andy Roddick and Nikolay Davydenko at the London event.
