Federer's 3rd in a row
Reuters, Halle
World number one Roger Federer beat Australian Open champion Marat Safin 6-4, 6-7, 6-4 to win his third consecutive Halle Open title on Sunday. Top seed Federer, who is also going for a third successive Wimbledon title later this month, produced another masterly performance on grass, his finesse and consistency proving too much for the powerful but erratic Russian. Federer extended his three-year winning streak on grass to 29 matches but is still well short of Bjorn Borg's record of 41 over five years in from 1976 to 1980.
