With his fifth consecutive US Open trophy in hand, Roger Federer surveyed New York City from the top of the Empire State Building on Tuesday. Federer captured his fifth title at Flushing Meadows and his 13th Grand Slam with a win over Andy Murray. With this win, he has also moved to within one major championship of tying Pete Sampras' career record of 14 Grand Slam titles.
He lost the top rank, failed to win men's singles gold at Olympics but ended the year on a high.
