Wimbledon champion Roger Federer closed out the tennis season with a 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 demolition of Andre Agassi on Sunday, claiming the ATP Masters Cup, the $1.52 million winner’s purse and the No. 2 world ranking.
While Andy Roddick departed the Houston tournament as No. 1, Federer’s unbeaten run through the season finale, culminating with an 88-minute dismantling of the eight-time Grand Slam winner, left many hailing the 22-year-old Swiss as the best men’s player.
On Sunday, Federer never faced a break point, had 39 winners to just 13 for Agassi and had 12 aces to his opponent’s one. Federer’s final ace closed out the match.
