Today saw the end of the year for the men’s game with Roger Federer winning the Shanghai Masters through beating David Ferrer in straight sets 6 – 2, 6 – 3, 6 -2.
Earlier in the tournament Federer had lost to Gonzales but he recovered and was able to beat Nadal in the semi – final.
The end of the women’s tour came a few weeks ago when Henin beat Sharapova to win the Sony Ericsson tournament in Madrid 5 – 7, 7 – 5, 6 – 3.
Both Federer and Henin have been on winning streaks with Roger winning his 4 Masters tournament and Justine finishing off the year on a 25 match unbeaten run (matching an achievement by Graff in 89), over the course of the year she also won 5 million dollars worth of prize money which hasn’t been done before.
Both these players have had really good years and it will be interesting to see what they can do in the new year. Well done Roger and Justine! Mr BH
