Congrats Fed! 6-3 6-2 for the title The world number one was in devastating form throughout the 6-3 6-2, one hour and seven minute encounter. "What can I say, this is an unbelievable end to a fantastic season," said the Swiss champion. "It started off at the Australian Open and just kept on coming. It was Federer's 13th final victory in a row and breaks the Open era mark he shared with John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg for consecutive final weeks. "This is way too much to ask for, it's been fantastic," Federer added. from eurosport.com

Some Rogi news: Federer Claims BBC Honor Roger Federer added another honor to his outstanding 2004 season when he was named BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year. Federer, who won 11 titles this season including three Grand Slams, the Tennis Masters Cup and three ATP Masters Series events, also made a big impression in the sporting world for his sportsmanship and co-operation with the media. This year's awards gala was watched by 12 million people in the United Kingdom. Last year six-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong won the award. 2004 has been a banner year for men's professional tennis--thrilling competition on the court, even more exciting moments off the court. To view the best of these moments, click here... www.atptennis.com/en/Credit Suisse Sports Awards 2004 Sportif de l'année 2004 Roger Federer. L'incontestable numéro 1 du tennis masculin a de bonnes chances de remporter le titre de sportif mondial de l'année. N'est-il pas logique dès lors qu'il reçoive également la consécration suprême dans son propre pays? D'anciens as du tennis comme John McEnroe, Ivan Lendl, Rod Laver et Boris Becker ne tarissent pas d'éloges sur le champion bâlois de 23 ans. Commentant le parcours exceptionnel de Federer en 2004, ils évoquent bien sûr les trois succès importants en Grand Chelem (Melbourne, Wimbledon, New York), le titre obtenu à nouveau au Masters, les sept autres victoires en tournoi et les divers records époustouflants. Mais ils sont surtout admiratifs devant son jeu, la perfection de sa technique, le génie et l'apparente facilité de ses coups, sans oublier de saluer aussi sa personnalité qui fait de lui une superstar qui a su rester accessible. www.sports-awards.ch/fr/laureats/index.php www.sports-awards.ch/Congrats, Rogi! I hear he also won a European Sports award!
