Sublime Federer beats Del Potro to win the 500 ATP final in Rotterdam – YouTube Video

Roger may be world nr.3, but when he plays indoor hard court he is still the man to beat.
He came back this week to Rotterdam after 7 years and he was as comfortable as ever.

The game with Del Potro was incredible. The Swiss was just too much for the Argentinian that managed to win his first game when in was 5-0 down in the opener.

Federer was in complete control of the match and Del Potro was really struggling to cope with the variations of the world nr.3.

The second set was more even, but it was clear that Roger’s superior tennis would give him the title. And.. that was it, he got the break and won the second set 6-4.

‘It’s incredible that it took me seven years to come back and defend my title, I hope the next time is not so long. But if it is, then it means I’ll be playing for another seven years,’ he commented

‘Juan Martin had a great week,’ said Federer. ‘He’s playing great tennis. I hope to see you at the World Tour Finals.’

‘This title marks a great start to the season,’ Federer added, 21-5 at Rotterdam. ‘My team made a lot of sacrifices. It’s been an amazing week for us.’
