Roger Federer claims 7th Halle title

Roger Federer claimed his seventh title at Halle, in Germany, after a close-match with Colombian opponent, Alejandro Falla.

'I really enjoy winning titles. It is what I play for, to play and receive a standing ovation at the end. I am very pleased with my performance. I work hard and travel the tour to win these titles and not lose in the quarters or semifinals. With all the success I have had in the past, I need to aim for titles. I think I deserved the title this week,' said the 17-time Swiss champion, clearly obviously with his game.

The score was tight all through the second and third sets: 7-6 (2) 7-6 (3) but, eventually, Federer took the win.
