Houston, Nov 17: Wimbledon Roger Federer closed out the tennis season with a 6-3 6-0 6-4 demolition of Andre Agassi, claiming the ATP Masters Cup, the 1.52 million dollars winner's purse and the number two in world rankings.
While Andy Roddick departed the Westside tennis club with the year-end number one ranking, 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.
Certainly there could be no argument about who was the better on this night.
Federer never faced a break point, had 39 winners to just 13 for Agassi and out-aced his opponent 12-1, the last to close out the match.
Federer's victory earned him a tour high seventh title and ended Agassi's hopes of capturing his first Masters title since his first appearance at the year-end finale 13 years ago.
