Roger Federer, widely regarded as the greatest tennis player of all time, may have had a season to forget, but he will be able to end on a high as a victory over Kevin Anderson at the Paris Masters confirmed his qualification for the ATP World Tour Finals for the 12 consecutive year.  Federer’s spot looked unlikely for parts of the season, but a late surged saw him prove his doubters wrong.  The Swiss has won the event a record 6 times.  Last year he lost to Novak Djokovic in the final.
