Federer wins special 100th title after beating Tsitsipas
Roger Federer wrote another “special” page of history as h e defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday at the Dubai Championships to win the 100th title of his career, National Daily gathered.
The 20-time Grand Slam winner claimed a record eighth trophy at the Aviation Club. The Swiss second seed was untouchable throughout much of the 69-minute final as he gained revenge for his fourth-round Australian Open defeat by the 11th-ranked Greek youngster. “It’s so special to win my eighth here combined with 100,” Federer said.
“I had tough opponents all the way through — right up to Stefanos today.
“He’s already having a great career, the game is in good hands.”
Federer joins Jimmy Connors (109) as the only other man to have won 100 titles.
His 99th trophy came last October at his home event in Basel.
