Though Roger Federer has been in a bit of a slump this year apart from winning the Australian Open, he sure proved that he's capable of knocking out some of the best players in the world. He beat his rival Rafael Nadal in a stunning display of consistency, power and accuracy with a score of 63 36 61. This is Roger's 5th victory at the year-ending championships and it will be a memorable one at that. Roger kept his composure throughout the match even after Nadal broke serve in the second set showing what it really to be a champion. Though Nadal was running and fighting throughout the whole match, some errors were just too costly to afford and Federer took advantage of them. Federer finishes the year at world number 2 and earns the jackpot of $1.6 million while Nadal gets the honour of ending the year as the top dog after his Grand Slam haul this year.
Well done Roger and hopefully next year we will see you winning some more Slams.
Standing ovation for Nadal as well of course after his dream-like run to winning 3 Slams in a row and clinching the top spot on the tour.
Wishing all the players a good off-season and Happy Holidays!
