With this win Roger Federer completed 700 wins on hard court and improves his record to 10-1 against top 10 players!!
He also becomes the second player to have most titles ( 94 ) after Jammy Connors ( 109 )!
Roger Federer has the most ATP 1000 titles in 2017, with Rafael Nadal and Alexander Zverev with 2 titles and Grigor Dimitrov with 1 title!
