Roger Federer wins his 64th ATP title today in the Stockholm Open, tying Pete Sampras. They now both rest at fourth place in the all-time list. This is a good win for Roger, since he barely had rest, flying last week from Shanghai where he finished runner-up. So to win it is testament to his ability to play through jet lag and through the crazy scheduling of men's tennis. This is Roger's path to the championship -
Finals - Florian Mayer (GER) (#47) 6-4, 6-3
SFs - Ivan Ljubicic (CRO) (#17) 7-6, 6-2
QFs - Stanislas Wawrinka (#21) 2-6, 6-3, 6-2
2R - Taylor Dent (USA) (#101) 6-1, 6-2
1R - BYE
