Tennis

Roger Federer has secured the 100th title of his career with a win at the Dubai Championships on Saturday.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion defeated rising Greek talent Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-4 to become the second male player to win 100 singles titles after American Jimmy Connors, who won 109.

Tsitsipas, who defeated Federer in the fourth round of the Australian Open and won the Open 13 in Marseille last week, was unable to stop Federer from making history.

Federer displayed some outstanding tennis in the opening set and managed to edge it 6-4.

In the second set, both players held serve for four games apiece until Federer broke Tsitsipas to serve for the match.

Federer won every point and managed to seal the win with an ace to claim his 100th career singles title.
