Stuttgart Open results: Roger Federer beats Milos Raonic in final
STUTTGART OPEN results: Roger Federer took victory in Germany - re-live all the results here.
Roger Federer secured a narrow 6-4, 7-6 win in a very tight clash against Raonic.
The Swiss star has been in top form all week and he only dropped two sets on his way to glory.
Federer’s most difficult challenge of the tournament came in the shape of Nick Kyrgios in the semi-finals in which he was taken to two tie-breaks.
But he cranked through the gears when he took on Raonic and he forced the Canadian into a key double fault in the decider before snatching the victory.
“I am really happy,” Federer said.
“I thought it was a good final and I played very well.
“It is a great comeback from me. I think we are very happy with this tournament.
“I think I was a little better at the bigger points.
“It has been difficult the last few years losing some tight matches but I am very happy to have won this year.”
