Fed & Baby Fed Dominate

 

Roger Federer won his 6th Dubai title on Saturday.



Federer fought back from a set down to beat Novak Djokovic for the first time in 18 months in Friday's semi-final.

A 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 over 3rd seed Tomas Berdych victory secured the 78th title of the Swiss' career - and first for nine months. With his 78th title, it moved Federer ahead of John McEnroe to go 3rd in the all time title list, behind  Jimmy Connors and Ivan Lendl.

 

 Meanwhile in Mexico, Grigor Dimitrov or "Baby Fed" won his second career title in fine fashion.

 

The Bulgarian played one of the matches of his life as he defeated Andy Murray in the semis in 3 sets.

 

The 22 year old took a tight first set on a tie-break before his big-serving rival took the second.

Anderson, 27, went a break up in the deciding third but, at 4-3, double-faulted when facing a break point.

The match was settled by another tie-break and world number 22 Dimitrov kept his nerve to win his second ATP title.
