I am not surprised that Federer has won his 6th end of season world title, and maybe neither are you. I believe it is because of these three main reasons:
1. The other top 3 players are physically worn out and hurt due to the longevity of the ATP season and their styles of play and emotions. (Murray, Nadal, and Djokavic.)
2. Federer is the best player on indoor hard courts.
3. Federer's style of play, technique, movement, and emotional acuity all help him continue to win and stay healthy like the EVERYREADY battery bunny.
Federer can hit more total winners with all his shots than the others, his emotions and expressions are less taxing than the others, his movement is more efficient I believe especially indoors, and physically he hits the ball with a minimal of energy which allows him to conserve energy over a longer season.
Note that Djokavic had a historic season and was completely tapped out mentally and physically after the U.S.Open. fdd
