Ferrer never looked like emulating Argentine David Nalbandian's amazing fightback from two sets down against Federer in the 2005 final as the third set followed the same pattern.

The world number one continued to drill winners past his dazed opponent, breaking for 3-1 with a superb running forehand that was too hot for a lunging Ferrer to handle.

He put Ferrer out of his misery with another sizzling forehand pass after 98 minutes to capture his eighth title of the year and the 53rd of his career.

"I surprise myself at times obviously," smiled the 12-times grand slam champion after another successful season.

"Once I get on a roll it's so hard for my opponents to come back. I don't allow them."

Federer's victory earned him $1.2 million -- as well as a gleaming new Mercedes car -- and took his prize money in 2007 to more than $8.6 million.

Ferrer was almost lost for words afterwards.

"Roger is the best player in history," he said, sighing heavily. "You don't enjoy a beating like that. He can do it all. I'm not on the same level.

"But I'm happy because I had my best year. I'll finish at number five in the world. It's a surprise for me. For me the year was perfect."
