The Swiss Rozhe Federer became the winner of the unofficial world of the Association of Professional Tennisian Association in Houston, whose prize fund was 3 million 700 thousand dollars. In the final match of Masters Cup, he defeated American Andre Agassi with a score of 6: 3.6: 0.6: 4, and Federer did not interfere with an unscheduled break in the duel caused by the rain.
"This victory means a lot to me. I got into the most complicated group, and in every match there was a stubborn struggle. But from the very beginning I believed that I could beat each of my rivals - extracti tennis players," the Swiss said after the match.
In turn, Andre Agassi, an eight -time winner of tournaments from a large helmet series, praised his opponent and congratulated him on a wonderful game. “Throughout the week, Roger showed beautiful tennis, so he earned this victory. I did everything that he could, only this was not enough,” said Agassi.
Thus, Roger Federer did not lose a single match during the final tournament in Houston, winning five fights in a row, including the final, RIA Novosti reports. He won the best tennis players in the world Andy Roddik, Juan Carlos Ferrero, David Nalbandan and twice over Andre Agassi.
Nevertheless, success in Houston will not allow Federer to climb the first line of the Att rating, since Andy Roddick, thanks to the entrance to the semifinals, managed to score the required number of points to maintain a leading position.
The 2003 tennis season is almost completed. Only the final of the Davis Cup remained unsettled: on November 28-30, in Australia, the owners of the court and the Spanish team will compete for the main trophy of the tournament - a silver salad bowl.
