BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Renault will not introduce its next major step in power unit performance until 2017, the French manufacturers engine boss Remi Taffin has said.Updates over the winter and a major step at the Monaco Grand Prix have seen Renault close the gap in power to rivals Mercedes and Ferrari this year, with Red Bull making significant progress up the grid as a result. However, when asked if another big update would come this season, Taffin said the next Monaco-style step would come over the winter.I think it will be next year, he said. The big step we will have will be next years engine, race one. Until we get to the end of the season now we will be working on the specification we have now, trying to extract the most out it, but there wont be any more lets say big step as we had for race one and six.Taffin said the positive impact of the most recent updates had been satisfying for the team but there is still a long way to go.Where we were coming from was a difficult year last year and now we can see the improvement on track and everything we got out from the factory to the track was working well, so that was a good step forward, either first race or actually Monaco/Montreal specification we introduced. Its all working well. I just have to say were on it, but we have a good way to go.

MADRID, Spain -- Rafael Nadal fought back to beat David Ferrer 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-0 in Fridays quarterfinals of the Madrid Open, maintaining his bid to reach a seventh straight final since returning from a knee injury. In a meeting of Spains top ranked players, Ferrers baseline game on the outdoor red clay almost proved too much for the fifth-seeded Nadal. But Nadal held on to force a third set and won six straight games to improve his career record against Ferrer to 18-4, avoiding an early exit like Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer earlier this week. "(I) have to be very happy for making it to the semifinals, and even more so after how the match has gone," said Nadal, who won in 2005 and 2010. "I could have been very close to thinking about the next tournament right now." Third-seeded Andy Murray never found his stride and lost 7-6 (3), 6-4 to last years runner-up Tomas Berdych. In the womens event, top-ranked Serena Williams struggled past Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-3, 0-6, 7-5, and second-seeded Maria Sharapova joined her in the semifinals after easing by Kaia Kanepi of Estonia 6-2, 6-4. Nadal has won four titles this year since being sidelined for several months with tendinitis in his left knee. Even though he has said his leg still bothers him, Nadal failed to use it as an excuse. "David is a fantastic player," he said. "When you play up and down against players like David, you know, its very difficult to win." Nadal will play 113th-ranked Pablo Andujar of Spain, who ousted Kei Nishikori 6-3, 7-5 the day after the Japanese player upset Federer. The fourth-seeded Ferrers ability to keep points alive with error-free long rallies gave him an early lead. He used his speed to break twice in the second set, sealing both with approach shots at the net for a 4-2 advantage. Nadal then dug in and broke twice to win the next three games. Ferrer had an opportunity to earn two match points when leading 5-4 and 30-15. He had plenty of time to slam a floating ball into an openn court but instead fired at his opponents feet, allowing Nadal to scoop it over the net.dddddddddddd "It was a tightly contested match," Nadal said. "David deserved it more than I did to reach the semifinals, but that is sport. I was lucky to somehow save that ball down 15-30. "After missing his chance David fell apart a little. He lowered his intensity in the third set and I didnt have to do as much." Nadal was steadier in his shot-making to level in the tiebreaker, and he only got better in the third set. After placing a perfect lob near the baselines, he wowed the Caja Magica crowd by nailing a forehand winner while almost stumbling to the ground en route to building an insurmountable 4-0 lead. Berdych jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the first set tiebreaker before closing it out when Murray landed a backhand just wide. Murray, who won the tournament on hard courts in 2008, fell to the Czech in just over two hours after Berdychs deep drive forced him to miss for a last time. "He played a better tiebreak(er) than me and then in the second set I had chances," Murray said. "Thats frustrating. I didnt convert a lot of opportunities all week but was able to dig out the previous matches." Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland will meet Berdych in the semifinals after he outlasted Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-2, 6-7 (9), 6-4. Against Medina Garrigues, Williams appeared to be worn down after being blanked in the second set and falling behind 4-2 in the decider. But the defending champion rallied to break the Spaniards serve twice. "I just wasnt really into it, my feet werent moving," Williams said of the second set. "To change it I got up early (before the third set) and did some high knees, some stretching, anything I could to get my intensity back up to where it needs to be." Williams will face Sara Errani of Italy, who downed Ekaterina Makarova 6-4, 6-3. Sharapova will play Ana Ivanovic after the Serb dispatched Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-1. ' ' '
