Federer won his 4th Masters Cup title

Top-ranked Roger Federer won his fourth Masters Cup title Sunday, overwhelming No. 6 David Ferrer 6-2, 6-3, 6-2.

It was the third consecutive dominating performance by Federer, who won his 53rd career title – including eight this year – and ran his record against Ferrer to 8-0. Federer collected US$ 1.2 million (euro820,000) and a new car for the win. The Spaniard was simply no match for Federer’s blend of spins, power and volleying skills, managing only 10 winners to 38 unforced errors as he was forced to try to do too much with Federer getting everything back. Federer had 30 winners and 29 unforced errors. Swiss fans said it all with a banner reading, "Shhh! Quiet! Genius at work." Federer faced a break point at 2-2, 30-40 in the first set, then ran off 18 of the next 19 points. The streak also started a stretch in which Federer won 30 of 33 service points through the end of the second set.
