Tennis player Roger Federer has won his 100th ATP title.

The 20-times Grand Slam champion becomes the second man to win 100 titles, after American Jimmy Connors who won 109.

Federer won the Dubai Tennis Championship, beating 20-year-old Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4 6-4 in the final of the Dubai Tennis Championships.

The result sees him climb to number four in the rankings.

“I’m delighted. It’s great to win my eighth here in Dubai and in combination with my 100th singles title,” Federer said.

Federer has won at least one ATP trophy in nearly every season since his first title, missing out only in 2016 when he suffered a knee injury.
