Federer earns 99th career ATP title

Roger Federer won his 99th career ATP Tour title on Sunday, beating qualifier Marius Copil 7-6 (5), 6-4 in the Swiss Indoors final. A ninth title at Federer’s hometown event in Basel, where he was once a ball boy, matched the nine he won at the Halle grass-court event in Germany. He closed the gap on the alltime singles titles list to Jimmy Connors, who leads with 109. “It’s been a magical week. It was dream run for me,” Federer said.
