Borna Coric dethrones Federer in Halle

Agency Report by Agency Report

in Top News
Croatian, Borna Coric, ended Roger Federer’s 20-match winning streak on grass, beating him 7-6(6) 3-6 6-2 in the Halle Open final on Sunday. He also brought to a halt the Swiss maestro’s reign as world number one. Federer was denied a 10th title in the German grass court tournament as Coric handed the 36-year-old his first setback on an otherwise serene road towards defending his Wimbledon title. The defeat meant that Rafa Nadal will return to the top of the world rankings on Monday. Federer loses Halle Open crown and No.1 spot going to Wimbledon. Coric, playing in his first grass court final, showed great mental toughness and determination to fend off two set points before clinching the opening set after 57 minutes. Federer responded by applying further pressure on Coric’s serve in the second set before converting a break point in the eighth game to force a decider. The 21-year-old then broke Federer in the sixth game of the final set when the Swiss sliced a backhand long, before claiming only his second ATP title. Source: Reuters
