Federer on Sky on what's helped him beat Nadal 5 straight times, smiles: 'Not playing him on clay'.
— Mike Dickson (@Mike_Dickson_DM) October 15, 2017
Just as Federer risked his US Open by playing Canada, Nadal risked this by playing Beijing (and Laver Cup). Both paid the price.

This match reinforcing the idea that Nadal's supposed dominance in the Fedal rivalry is down to the disproportionate # of clay meetings

The confetti shower over #Federer makes a picturesque portrait fit to be frozen in time. A sixth title of 2017 ๐๐ป #SHRolexMasters https://t.co/H3ZmTGrRzW

Maybe the most surprising thing about this the most surprising of tennis seasons is that Federer has dominated Nadal like he never has.

#Federer didnโt take #Nadal chances today. No break points, ten aces, 70% 1st serve played, winning 83% on first & 79% on second.

Five consecutive wins against his biggest rival. Let that sink in. #Federer #ShanghaiMasters

More remarkable stuff from Federer. That's his 5th straight win over the world number one - and he's 36 years old.

The liberation of Roger Federer's mind against Rafael Nadal*** continues.

*** = on hardcourts
Excellent match from Federer but strange to see him so in Nadalโs head after so many years of it being the other way round
— Eleanor Crooks (@EleanorcrooksPA) October 15, 2017
Fast court helped a lot but that was seriously impressive by @rogerfederer - he's going to be a big favourite again in London
— Simon Cambers (@scambers73) October 15, 2017
Federer now equals Nadal with six titles for the year. These two have just bossed it in 2017 #SHRolexMasters

First men's player to win 700 matches on a single surface.

Roger Federer said after Laver Cup: "I will go to Shanghai to win the tournament". He did it beating Rafa in final.

The zero energy and total no show is mindboggling. Not sure what is worse -a mental issue or knee issue driving this lack of form

Congrats @rogerfederer !

Enough of Fedal this Fedal that. This is hurting now!

Denied AO, Miami, Shanghai. Not forgetting, Roger.
