Roger Federer wins 100th ATP title in Dubai

37-year old and 20-time Grand Slam champion, Roger Federer has won his 100th ATP Tour title at the Dubai Tennis Championships.

Federer defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-4 to reach a century title.

He’s the second man, after Jimmy Connors of the United States in 1983 to reach the landmark.

Federer won his first ATP Tour title 18 years ago when he defeated Frenchman, Julien Boutter on February 4, 2001.

“It is an absolute dream come true right now,” said Federer.

“I’m delighted. It’s great to win my eighth here in Dubai and in combination with my 100th singles title,” he added.
