Roger Federer wins his first title of 2013!

Roger Federer returned to the winners circle today!

The Swiss superstar, long my favorite player, had not won a title all season but that has changed with his victory over Mikhail Youzhny on the grass at Halle, Germany.

It was Federer’s sixth Gerry Weber Open title and comes a week before he is due to begin defense of his 2012 Wimbledon title. He will be trying to win Wimbledon for a record eighth time.

“I have won a lot in my career but not recently,” said Federer whose ranking has dropped to 3. “I was satisfied with my game in the past 10 months. Maybe people thought I was playing badly but that was not the case.I was playing well but when it mattered the others were just better. Today it worked well.”

The tournament win was the the 77th of his career and put him in a tie with John McEnroe for third on the all-time list of tournament titles. Only Jimmy Connors and Ivan Lendl have more.
