Home win for Roger


A win in the Final, The Records, The Trophy, The Smile, The Emotions …

Roger Federer has done it again. Yet this one was a special one, a really really special one as it took seven attempts.
This time he has won at Basel a place where he once worked as a Ball-boy, a place where he dreamt to play one day, a place where he was born and brought up.

He won the Swiss Indoors, his fourth title in a row and eleventh of the year, beating the Chilean Fernando Gonzalez 6-36-2 7-6(3).

This is now becoming very customary that with every win he is setting new records.

With a win in Basel, Roger quenched his 44th ATP Title. And improved his winning record to 87-5
He has also become the first player in Open era to win 10 titles for three consecutive years.
Today, he celebrated his 100th day as World No.1
He also completed his 143rd week as World No. 1. (Only Ivan Lendle (157) and Jimmy Conners (160) are ahead of him)
