Federer bested Nadal 6-4, 6-3 in a one-sided match for his fifth consecutive win over the Spaniard. Federer on Sky on what's helped him beat Nadal 5 straight times, smiles: 'Not playing him on clay'.- Mike Dickson (@Mike_Dickson_DM) Just as Federer risked his US Open by playing Canada, Nadal risked this by playing Beijing (and Laver Cup). Both paid the price.- Trenton Jocz (@TrentonJocz) This match reinforcing the idea that Nadal's supposed dominance in the Fedal rivalry is down to the disproportionate # of clay meetings- Alex Macpherson (@alex_macpherson) The confetti shower over makes a picturesque portrait fit to be frozen in time. A sixth title of 2017 - anjali banerjee (@anjali_banerjee) Well done - relentless! - Bear Grylls (@BearGrylls) Race right now - Ilya Ryvlin (@ryvlin) Maybe the most surprising thing about this the most surprising of tennis seasons is that Federer has dominated Nadal like he never has.- Chris Oddo (@TheFanChild) Take a bow - Pankaj Advani (@PankajAdvani247) More history made. beats Rafa Nadal for the 5th consecutive time to win 27th Masters 1000 title! - Tennis TV (@TennisTV) didn’t take chances today. No break points, ten aces, 70% 1st serve played, winning 83% on first & 79% on second.- Pau Ferragut (@PauFerragut) Respect ( ) - doublefault28 (@doublefault28) Five consecutive wins against his biggest rival. Let that sink in. - Arjun Ashok (@arj_90) More remarkable stuff from Federer. That's his 5th straight win over the world number one - and he's 36 years old.- Mike Dickson (@Mike_Dickson_DM) “I hit my forehand to your backhand and you hit slice no?” - Sascha Hardcourterer (@samtennis189) The liberation of Roger Federer's mind against Rafael Nadal*** continues.
*** = on hardcourts- Matt Zemek (@mzemek) Excellent match from Federer but strange to see him so in Nadal’s head after so many years of it being the other way round- Eleanor Crooks (@EleanorcrooksPA) Fast court helped a lot but that was seriously impressive by - he's going to be a big favourite again in London- Simon Cambers (@scambers73) Federer now equals Nadal with six titles for the year. These two have just bossed it in 2017 - Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) First men's player to win 700 matches on a single surface.
Federer on Hardcourts.- Roger Laver (@DonaldTendulkar) Roger Federer said after Laver Cup: "I will go to Shanghai to win the tournament". He did it beating Rafa in final.- Rossana Capobianco (@Rossana_Capo) The zero energy and total no show is mindboggling. Not sure what is worse -a mental issue or knee issue driving this lack of form- Glen (@glen_george) Congrats !
Absolutely magical today. - Arjun Ashok (@arj_90) For the first time ever, Federer has 5 consecutive wins v Nadal:
Basel 2015
Australian Open 2017
Indian Wells 2017
Miami 2017
Shanghai 2017 - Gaspar Ribeiro Lança (@gasparlanca) Shanghai, Bercy, ATP Finals and Miami will have to wait for Rafael Nadal!- Prashant Paul (@PrashantSport) Enough of Fedal this Fedal that. This is hurting now!
Denied AO, Miami, Shanghai. Not forgetting, Roger.- Vaibhav Manocha (@BeingMinchu) #38, final stats. - Ilya Ryvlin (@ryvlin) The transformation of the mental dynamics of this rivalry (on hardcourts) is surprising in itself, but especially in its 180-degree totality- Matt Zemek (@mzemek) Rafa hasn't beaten Roger since AO 14! - Lisa (BEL19VED) (@lisawawrinka) ATP titles
1. Connors, 109
2. Federer, 94
3. Lendl, 94
