Federer, the only man who can still stop Nadal ending the year as number one, took an hour and 12 minutes to claim his sixth title of the year and his second Shanghai crown with a clinical performance. "I wasn't here last year because of injuries, so it's just so, so nice to be back in Shanghai," Federer said. He sealed the win on his opponent's serve, winning the second of three match points to claim his 94th career title. Federer, who won the tournament in 2014, has enjoyed himself on the fast courts of Shanghai this year, while Nadal will look back on a successful stint in Asia after winning last week's China Open. Today I think you played a fantastic match, so many congratulations," Nadal said.
