Roger Federer opens the Masters Cup final against James Blake in Shanghai with a magnificent 6-0 set
Blake is the latest player to find taking on Federer an almost impossible task
Federer's forehand has long been the best shot in the game but his backhand is now not far behind
Blake is left without an answer as Federer storms to a 6-0 6-3 6-4 victory and his third Masters Cup title
Blake moves up to four in the world after his strong showing in Shanghai, but the gap to number one remains huge
Federer picks up $1.52m (£800,000) for winning, taking him past $8m (£4.2m) for the season
Federer will now enjoy a holiday before preparing for 2007 and surely a crack at the Grand Slam
