Another feather in the cap is that Roger receives 1,630,000 $ in prize money for winning the tournament undefeated.

That, If i am not wrong is almost equal to winning a grandslam tournament (In terms of prize money).

Roger now equals the most titles of atp wtf along with former great players like Pete sampras and Ivan Lendl at 5. This should give him more motivation to win it again next year.

Federer and Nadal Rekindle a Rivalry

Tennis has a rivalry again. In London on Sunday, Roger Federer defeated Rafael Nadal 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in the ATP World Tour Finals. Though the match wasn't a classic, it did much to reinvigorate a clash that recently had become one-sided. The 24-year-old Mr. Nadal had won six of their previous seven meetings and this season had distanced himself from the 29-year-old Mr. Federer by winning three-straight Grand Slam singles titles, including his first U.S. Open.

Even on his best days, Mr. Federer (pictured) has had trouble with Mr. Nadal's high-bouncing forehand and endless hustle. Mr. Federer brought a new approach to London, though. Since he began working with Paul Annacone, Pete Sampras's former coach, this summer, Mr. Federer has taken more chances, hit his topspin backhand more often and looked for more opportunities to approach the net. His final charge Sunday began with an aggressive play one rarely sees these days: a serve return followed by an immediate approach to the net and two consecutive volleys. Mr. Federer rattled off the last five games and won all three of his break points, a rare feat against the Spaniard. Mr. Nadal has never won the season-ending championships, and he has never beaten Mr. Federer in an indoor match. And so yes, there's room for more in this rivalry in 2011 and beyond. May it never end.

While racking up world titles, pro surfer Kelly Slater has been busy with another project over the past five years: creating the perfect wave. This week he's unveiling technology to build artificial wave pools, as big as 540 feet in diameter, with waves that continuously break in a circle around a beach on an inner island. Mr. Slater says he wanted to bring the sport to people who live inland, but also "to create a never-ending perfect wave for myself." The wave pools are estimated to cost at least $10 million each.

Roger Federer in 2010

Roger Federer won the Australian Open, beating Briton Andy Murray 6–3, 6–4, 7–6(11), whom he also beat in the final of the 2008 US Open. Federer has played in sixteen tournaments so far in 2010, and won four. He made the semifinals of his opening tournament at the Qatar Open in Doha, losing to Nikolay Davydenko, and at the Estoril Open, which he had won in 2008, losing to defending and eventual champion Albert Montañés. Federer was runner up in the Mutua Madrileña Madrid Open to Rafael Nadal. At the French Open he faced his opponent in the last year final, Robin Söderling at the quarter finals stage and lost. As defending champion at Wimbledon he was defeated in the quarter-finals by Tomas Berdych in four sets, thus ending his streak of seven consecutive Wimbledon finals also falling to World No.3 in the rankings, his lowest ranking since 2003. During the summer hardcourt season Federer hired Paul Annacone to be his coach and revive his form. At the 2010 US Open, Federer advanced to his 7th straight semi-final appearance but however lost to Novak Djokovic in 5 sets despite holding 2 match points 5–4 in the final set. Federer's ranking slipped from No.2 to No.3 after the tournament.
