Federer Beats Djokovic To Regain Basel Title
Roger Federer regained his hometown title in Basel, Switzerland by defeating defending champion Novak Djokovic in 3-sets (as I predicted yesterday) 6-4 3-6 6-1. Federer has now won the tournament 4 times in the last 5 years, and Basel became the 9th tournament that the Swiss Great has won at least 4 times.
Federer improved to 12-6 career head-to-head versus Djokovic and with his 65th tournament win pulled out of a tie with Pete Sampras at #4 on the list of all-time most tournaments won.
