Roger Federer rated his masterful 6-3, 6-0 demolition of Rafael Nadal at the ATP World Tour Finals as one of the best performances of his life. Federer has enjoyed many remarkable days during his illustrious career, but even the 16-time Grand Slam champion was surprised by how completely he overwhelmed his old rival at London's O2 Arena on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old took just an hour to crush Nadal with the kind of imperious display that ranks alongside the very best Federer has ever produced. "It's definitely one of the nice ones, that's clear. I had some good ones in my lifetime but this one ranks high because it's against my biggest rival," Federer said.
