By The Assam Tribune

BASEL, Oct 28: Swiss legend Roger Federer secured a record-breaking 10th Swiss Indoors championship title in his hometown by outclassing Australia�s Alex de Minaur in the final.

On Sunday, Federer was at his usual best as he defeated the Aussie 6-2, 6-2 to register his 103th singles titles of his career.

Playing in front of his home crowd, the 38-year-old played attacking tennis against the 20-year-old, who was going for his fourth title of the season.

�It was fast, but very nice. I think I played a great match. It was a tough opener, in the beginning, the first five games, we had some great rallies. I never looked back,� Federer was quoted as saying by the ATP Tour website.

�I was great on the offence, made very few unforced errors and came up with the big shots and served well when I had to,� he added.

The Swiss maestro also praised his Australian opponent and said: �I thought Alex played a great tournament as well, and I think we both can be very happy. But, what a moment for me to win my 10th here in my hometown of Basel.�

Federer will receive 500 ATP Ranking points and 430,125 euros in prize money. � IANS
