Roger Federer struck 17 winners as his sublime groundstrokes and elegant backhand was on display all through the one hour and three minutes duration of the match.

John Isner, who had not dropped a set all through the tournament prior to the final, had treatment on his left foot in the second set when he was 4-3 down but could not rally back as Federer sealed the win for his 28th Masters title.
