Federer snares record sixth Dubai crown

Roger Federer won a record sixth Dubai Championships — and 78th career title — by beating Tomas Berdych 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the final on Saturday.

Federer, who maintains a home in Dubai, delighted a packed stadium for back-to-back wins over Novak Djokovic in the semifinals and Berdych. “Things definitely went my way out here tonight,” Federer said. “I’ve had a lot of tough matches in the last year and a half so it was nice to get a lucky break again.” Federer’s win, his sixth here in the last 12 years, extends his record of winning at least one title a year to 14 consecutive years.
