In what was one of the worst years of his careers, Federer failed to win any of the four Grand Slams for the first time since 2002.

But he did manage to pick up a few wins before the year ended. By the time the Paris Masters had come around he was seemingly back in to shape and seemed confident of doing well.

After receiving a bye in the first round, Federer beat Adrian Mannarino, Richard Gasquet , Juan Monaco and Tomas Berdych to set up a final clash with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

He dominated Tsonga in the final and won the match comfortably.
