| Roger Federer beats Rafael Nadal |
Many have questioned whether Federer has lost his touch after losing in the quarter-finals of both the French Open and Wimbledon and with Nadal knocking him off his the top of the rankings earlier in the year. But the Swiss showed he is still a top player and shouldn’t be written off just yet.
"Everything was there," said Federer.
"I think physically I was better than the last two seasons. That obviously makes me be very positive for next year, that I believe I can have another great season in 2011.
"I'm happy I made my ninth final this season. I've won five titles, won a slam. That obviously makes me be very positive for next year.
"I'm just really happy the way I was able to finish the season in style, playing some of my best tennis, really saving the best for last.
"Obviously, beating Rafa in the finals makes it extra special because of the year he had.
"I've had a good season. I don't see how someone can say it's been a bad season. I had some tough losses, sure but you're not going to win every tournament you play.
"After having somewhat of a disappointing clay, Halle, Wimbledon stretch, where I wasn't able to win any tournaments, maybe didn't play some of my best tennis, played a bit passive, it was important that I was able to pick up my game."
