　world no 1 roger federer capped one of the finest seasons in tennis history by successfully defending his masters cup title.

　federer won a devastating 6-3, 6-2 final over lleyton hewitt on sunday in houston, us.

　the 23-year-old swiss collected a first prize of us$1.52 million and a new luxury car. he now heads for a well-earned holiday. he will have time to look back on a memorable season during which he lifted 11 titles, including the wimbledon, us and australian open grand slam titles.

　“this is a wonderful end for me,” said federer. “this has been an incredible season, a great, fantastic season.

　“it's a fairy-tale ending, to leave for vacation with great feelings and great memories as well.”

　after a day of steady rain that threatened to delay the match until monday, federer sped to victory in just over an hour.

　the win was federer's 22nd in a row against a top-10 ranked opponent, a run stretching back to last year's masters cup.

　six of those victories have come at hewitt's expense this season, including a straight-sets thrashing in the final of the us open.

　having not played since straining his left thigh preparing for a tournament in basel, switzerland a month ago, federer's fitness was a source of much speculation before the event started.

　federer, though, proved he was back to his very best by sweeping into the final.
