Roger Federer battled to claim his 99th career ATP Tour title on Sunday, rallying to defeat Romanian qualifier Marius Copil 7-6 (7/5), 6-4 in the Swiss Indoors final at Basel. The top seed claimed his ninth trophy at his home event as he overcame an inspired opponent who took the lead early in each set but was pegged back by the 20-time Grand Slam champion. Federer will now aim to win number 100 by the end of the season.

"It's been a magical week for me, a dream run for me," Federer said, prior to moving onto his traditional post-final pizza party with ballkids -- of which he was one here two decades ago. Federer won his 20th straight match at the tournament and has played in 12 straight Basel finals. The 93rd-ranked Copil was competing in the biggest match of his life after emerging from qualifying.
