Roger Federer wins 5th title of 2014 – is in close striking distance of reclaiming #1 ranking

My favorite tennis legend Roger Federer had a very good day at the office today.

The 33-year-old wonder outclassed David Goffin 6-2 6-2 to win the Swiss Indoor tournament in Basel for a sixth time, moving closer to Novak Djokovic at the top of the rankings in the process.

It was Federer’s fifth tournament win of 2014 and places him less than 500 points behind Djokovic with a combined 2,500 points up for grabs at the next two tournaments in Paris and London.

“With the year I’ve had and the amount of finals I’ve played, the level of tennis I’ve played, I’m really pleased that I have a shot at being there,” Federer said after the match. “But I’m sure Novak will be very motivated. It’s going to be interesting weeks ahead.”

During his career, Federer has spent a record 302 weeks as world number one.
