Another tournament showdown between tennis greats Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. The 36-year old Federer got the better of Nadal on Sunday when he met the Spaniard in the Shanghai Masters final.
Despite giving tough competition to the Swiss in the first set, Federer maintained his early lead to win the set 6-4. Nadal was initially going strong in the second set but Federer came back to break the serve and take the lead in the second set, ultimately winning it by 6-3.
While Federer came from a set down to beat Juan Martin Del Potro in the semifinals of the ATP Shanghai Masters on Saturday, Nadal had overcome Marin Cilic 7-5, 7-6. It is never easy to pick a favourite between Nadal and Federer but the latter has won all the five meets between the two legends this year despite Nadal being on a 15 match winning streak which saw him win the US Open and the China Open last week.
