Swiss maestro, Roger Federer, not only captured his second consecutive Tournament win at the Basel Swiss Indoor Championship, but also guaranteed himself a #1 ranking to end the year, for what will now be his fourth consecutive year atop the rankings.
Federer, will hold off Rafael Nadal who was not much of a factor in the circuit, after his injury at wimbledon.
This latest title, came in his homeland of Switzerland, where he defeated Jarkko Nieminen 6-3, 6-4 in the final.
With 54 career titles, including 12 Grand Slam Titles, Federer has established himself as the best player in the game right now, and perhaps of all time. He sits only 2 grand slam titles behind the great American tennis player, Pete Sampras, who captured a total of 14.
Right now it seems as tough his only challenge remains to win the French Open, the only Grand Slam tournament that has avoided him. For two years straight, he has reached the final at Roland Garros, but both times has gone down to Rafael Nadal.
