American James Blake on Saturday secured the eighth and last spot at the season-ending Masters Cup.

Blake qualified after German Tommy Haas pulled out of his Paris Masters semi-final against Slovak Dominik Hrbaty, who was leading 6-4, 1-0.

Haas, who suffered from gastroenteritis, needed to win the Paris title to secure the last slot at the event for the top eight players in the ATP Race, starting on Nov. 12 in Shanghai.
