It’s Federer time again!
While many people were eager to dismiss this as a horrible season for Federer, the Swiss was preparing a great finale and… he got it.
After the winning campaigns in Basel and Paris, he clinches a prestigious win at the World Tour Finals and became the first man to win 6 titles in the season showdown.
The match with Tsonga was quite difficult. The French looked quite inspired from the beginning. Altough Roger looked also in top form, at the beginning of the match he had some problems to hold a clean serve game while his opponent looked ruthless on his serve.
Then Tsonga had a curious sloppy game while he was down 4-3 and he lost his serve to give to Federer the opportunity to win the first set 6-3.
In the second set Tsonga was more aggressive going to the net as soon as he could. The Swiss managed to win another break at the seventh game to get the opportunity to serve for the match (5-4). Then it was time to Federer to have a sloppy game to find himselves 0-40 and give the opportunity to Tsonga to eventually win the game.
The set went to the tiebreak where Tsonga managed to save a match point with a gutsy forehand when he was down 6-5. Then the Frenchman won it at 8-6.
The decider was very tight, but the experience gave to Federer the cool to win a decisive break while he was leading 4-3. This time time he did not squander the lead and he managed to win its 6th World Tour Final title.
Great Stuff!
