Roger Federer is in blue heaven! Wins Madrid Open and surpasses Rafael Nadal to return to #2 in the world!

Roger Federer won his fourth title of 2012 – more than any other male player this year – by defeating Tomas Berdych in the final of the Madrid Open.

It is the 74th singles title of Federer’s stellar career and the win gives him just enough points to overtake Rafael Nadal as the world’s second-ranked player heading into the French Open later this month.

”It is amazing to win here again,” said Federer. ”It has been a tough tournament. Tough to move, but you’ve got to try to make the most of it. Here there was some good tennis and some bad tennis, but you see that in all tournaments.”

Federer has won seven out of the last nine tournaments he has played since his heart-breaking loss to top-ranked Novak Djokovic at the US Open last September in which he had two match points.

Nice to see the Swiss superstar, 45-3 since that US Open loss, undaunted and determined to add more titles to historic resume!

Actor Will Smith participated in the post-match presentation and his Men In Black III co-star Josh Brolin was in the stands. But on this day, it is Federer who was the biggest star of all.
