(June 21, 2015) Roger Federer won a record eighth title in Halle, Germany, defeating Italy’s Andreas Seppi 7-6 (1), 6-4 on Sunday to Gerry Weber Open tournament. For the Swiss, it was his tenth final at the event. He has now won 86 career ATP World Tour tournaments, four so far this year. This was his 15th tournament win on a grass court.

“Of course it’s a special moment for me, to win here for the eighth time before Wimbledon. It doesn’t happen without making an impression,” Federer said after the match.

“This week has been great when I look at the whole thing. I don’t think I was broken in the last four matches I played. It gives me confidence in the crucial moments to know my game was right there.”

“I think one big secret on grass is when to hit which shot and playing the score the right way. You might be playing perfect but then in one moment you take a bad decision and grass makes you pay for it all,” Federer said. “So, this week has been great if I look at the whole thing. I don’t think I got broken the last four matches I played. The first match was extremely close but I won all the tie-breaks this week, which gives me big confidence knowing that in the crucial moments my game was right there.”

“He played better at the decisive moments and deserved to win in the end,” said Seppi “I’ll take some good memories with me.”

“It was a fantastic week for me. A first final in a [ATP World Tour] 500 tournament. I had some chances in the first set with two set points but I can be happy with the level I played and congrats to Roger for winning another title here in Halle. In the important moments he stepped up his serve.”

The 33-year-old, 17-time major champion joins an exclusive club, becoming just the third player in the Open era to win at least eight titles at a single tournament. Rafael Nadal has nine Roland Garros titles, eight from Monte Carlo and Barcelona, and Tennis Hall of Famer Guillermo Vilas has eight from Buenos Aires.
