Federer reaches 50th career win tournaments
Roger Federer raised both arms triumphantly when his ace finished it off. After years of having everyone else’s number, he had a special one of his own.
The Swiss star reached another measure of tennis greatness on Sunday, winning his 50th tournament title by beating James Blake 6-1, 6-4 in the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters.
At age 26, he became the fifth-youngest player to reach 50, and only the ninth overall in the Open Era — since 1968 — to win so many tournaments.
