Federer snaps Shanghai Masters final in 72 minutes

By Daily Sports on October 16, 2017

Wimbledon champion Roger Federer beat world number one Rafael Nadal 6-4 6-3 in 72 minutes to clinch the Shanghai Masters trophy.

The victory is the Swiss sixth title of the year and his fourth win against Nadal.

Federer, 36, who has lost only four times in 2017, was again in imperious form as he handed the Spaniard his fifth successive defeat.

Federer fired 10 aces, and the 19-time Grand Slam winner's 94th career title cut his deficit against Nadal to 23-15.

It moves him level with Ivan Lendl in terms of Open era titles, with only American Jimmy Connors (109) having more.

"I'll go home and we will work out where I play next - Basel, Paris, one of those or none, before I go to London, which is my priority," said Federer.

"World number one I don't think will happen but if I play like this maybe I'll get close, who knows? He added"
