London ? Roger Federer turned his high-profile, season-ending match against Rafael Nadal into little more than an exhbition.

Federer gave his rival little chance to mount a challenge in the 22nd meeting between two of the greatest players of all-time, winning his fifth season-ending title 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 at the ATP World Tour Finals on Sunday.

Federer won an incredible 92 percent of the points played on his first serve in the final and lost only 13 points on serve in the match.

“I was able to stay offensive. Rallies were never that long,” said Federer, who has won the season-ending tournament in Houston, Shanghai and London. “That kind of maybe frustrated him.”

Nadal, the top-ranked Spaniard who won the French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open this year, was able to break Federer once in the second set, but he appeared to tire as the match wore on. On Saturday, Nadal spent more than three hours and three sets beating Andy Murray to reach the finals for the first time in his career.

“I know I didn’t spoil his vacation after this because he’s had an amazing year,” Federer said. “A year that any player dreams of.”

The win cut Nadal’s career record to 14-8 against the second-ranked Swiss player. In Grand Slam finals, Nadal is 5-2 against Federer, but Federer has now beaten Nadal all three times they have faced each other in the final tournament of the season.

Federer has won a record 16 Grand Slam titles, the last coming at this year’s Australian Open, and he and Nadal have combined to win 21 of the past 23 majors.
