Reflecting on the triumph, Federer said that though it is great to pick up his eighth title in Dubai, the credit should go to Stefanos for playing so well throughout the tournament.

”I’m delighted. It’s great to win my eighth here in Dubai and in combination with my 100th singles title.It’s been a difficult week for me, tough opponents throughout but credit to Stefanos as well, he played a great tournament,” Federer said.

The Swiss tennis star further stressed that he doesn’t play tennis to break records, however, admitting that reaching the 100-mark milestone is definitely special.

”As for records, we live in an age where every record has to be shattered, but not for me.We’ll see how much more I have left in the tank, but reaching 100 is a dream and tonight was a very special evening, but it’s not about breaking every single record,” he said.
