Swiss Indoors Basel 2018: Roger Federer Wins Trophy, Claims His 99th Career Titles

Roger Federer extends his Swiss Indoors Basel title dominance to nine after winning  a hard-fought final match with Marius Copil on Sunday. 

The world no. 2 is just a title shy from reaching a remarkable feat of 100th ATP world tour-level titles, which has never been attained by any players in history.

It was the Romanian player's first career encounter with Federer. He did pretty well at the opener fighting through tie-break before dropping the set as the Swiss progressed to win in staright sets 7-6(5) 6-4 after he netted a backhand return. 

After winning the tournament, he has booked his place at the ATP Nitto final scheduled to kick out on 11- 18 November in London.
