Roger Federer has his sights set on ending the year as the world's top-ranked player after the 33-year-old claimed his fifth title of the year in his home town on Sunday. The 17-times grand slam champion outclassed David Goffin 6-2 6-2 to win the Swiss Indoor tournament in Basel for a sixth time, moving ever closer to Serbian Novak Djokovic at the top of the rankings in the process. A strong finish at the Paris Masters and the ATP World Tour Finals could see him end the year as number one for the first time since 2009 -- proof that his skills are not in decline despite the advancing years and two sets of twins.

Djokovic won both of those titles last year and therefore cannot significantly add to his haul as he will be defending points, while @placeholder lost in the semi-finals at both events and can potentially close the gap.
