Winning looks to be as sweet as ever for Roger Federer who won the 65th singles title of his career earlier today in Basel, Switzerland, Greg in Hollywood Reports.
He beat defending champion Novak Djokovic 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 to win his fourth Swiss Indoors title and was watched courtside by his parents, his wife, Mirka, and their 15-month-old twin daughters, Myla and Charlene.
“It is even more special to win again at home,” Federer told the crowd after the match. “I had a super week and a tough final to play. … It’s always tough to play Novak. We’ve met so many times and he knows my game and how to beat me. He had a great week here.”
Federer’s 65th career singles title lifted him out of a tie with Pete Sampras and into sole possession of fourth on the career singles victory list in the modern era. Jimmy Connors leads with 109.
Federer is 4-4 in finals this year after winning titles at the Australian Open, Cincinnati Masters and the Stockholm Open.
The world’s second ranked player had a mostly dismal 2010 after his Australian Open win losing in the quarterfinals of the French Open and Wimbledon and the semifinals of the US Open.
But he has played with purpose and confidence this fall making three finals in a row (winning two). He has a 57-12 season record and is the top seed at the Paris Masters which began today. It’s the last event before the eight-man ATP World Tour Finals being held Nov. 21-28 in London.
