Madrid: World number one Roger Federer racked up his 10th title of the season with a ruthless 7-5 6-1 6-0 win over Chile's Fernando Gonzalez in the final of the 2 million Euro Madrid Masters on Sunday.
The 25-year-old weathered an early storm from the 10th seed but found his rhythm in the second and then powered his way to victory as Gonzalez folded under the pressure.
It was Federer's fourth Masters title of the year and the 12th his career, taking him one clear of Pete Sampras into second place behind Andre Agassi who heads the all-time list with a record 17.
The victory, Federer's first in Madrid, extended his winning streak to 19 matches and took his tally of victories for the year to 82.
He is the first player since Ivan Lendl in 1982 to win 80 matches two years in a row.
