Roger Federer won a record sixth Dubai Championships and 78th career title by beating Tomas Berdych 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the final on Saturday. Federer, who maintains a home in Dubai, delighted a packed stadium of fans who seemed biased for the Swiss in back-to-back wins over Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals and Berdych.
“Things definitely went my way out here tonight,” Federer said. “I’ve had a lot of tough matches in the last year and a half so it was nice to get a lucky break again.”
