Houston, Nov 16: Wimbledon champion Roger Federer overwhelmed world number one Andy Roddick 7-6 6-2 to reach the final of ATP Masters Cup and a showdown with Andre Agassi. Earlier in the day, Agassi produced yet another magical comeback to beat Germany's Rainer Schuettler 5-7 6-0 6-4 and put himself on the brink of his first masters title since his debut appearance at the year-end finale 13 years ago.
In a ruthless performance, the 22-year-old Swiss needed just 62 minutes to crush hopes of an all-American final, humbling a helpless Roddick in front of his home fans.
A perfect 4-0 heading into Sunday's final, one more win will not only give Federer his seventh title of the season and winner's purse of 1.54 million dollars but will elevate the Swiss up to number two in the world rankings. Bureau Report
