Halle - ATP 500 - June 15th to June 21st

[GameSetAndMath]

This match with Seppi is lot more competitive than I expected. I thought it will be a blow out.
But, it is far from it. Fed won first set 7-6. It is 5-4 for fed on serve. Hope Fed can now break and close the match.

Fed breaks in the last game and wins the title. :clap He got the eighth title in Halle now. Hope he gets the eighth title in Wimbledon in the same year.

This is Fed's 86th title in career and 4th title this year (in addition to Brisbane, Dubai and Istanbul).

Hats off to Seppi. Fed had to play really hard to win. Fed had +6 and Seppi had -7 differential.
The only break in the entire match came in the last game. Fed had 14 aces and no double faults.
Despite all this he barely managed to win the match.

It is a cliché to say that matches get decided by just a few points. But, it is literally true for grass court matches.

Eight! Count 'em! Eight Halle titles for the great Roger Federer! :clap

 

[Federberg]

He's just 8 titles away from Lendl now. Doable!

109 Titles: Jimmy Connors
94 Titles: Ivan Lendl
86 Titles: Roger Federer

Still 23 titles away from Connors. But 100 is not impossible! Would like to see him do it!

.."the boy Federer done great". (paraphrasing@emelynhughescirca1980saquestionofsport). :dodgy:

I also have to say that I love the Halle trophy. Much better than that cheap looking trophy the give out at IW or Miami. Even better than that ridiculously huge Queen's trophy.

Funny, I like the Sony trophy; dusting crystal is easier than metal you need to polish periodically! :angel: :dodgy:

LOL! True! But I'm sure those guys have a trophy polisher employed full-time!
