Federer Wins Third Straight Swiss Davidoff Indoors Title

Basel native Roger Federer successfully defended his title at the Swiss Davidoff Indoors on Sunday, beating David Nalbandian in the final. When Roger won his first trophy at Basel in 2006, he started a "tradition" of throwing a pizza party for the ball boys and girls. He was a former ball boy here.

Here are Federer's results at his hometown tournament since he turned pro:

2008 - W (d. Nalbandian)
2007 - W (d. Nieminen)
2006 - W (d. Gonzalez)
2005 - DNP (foot injury)
2004 - DNP (thigh strain)
2003 - R16 (l. to Ljubicic)
2002 - SF (l. to Nalbandian)
2001 - F (l. to Henman)
2000 - F (l. to Enqvist)
1999 - QF (l. to Henman)
1998 - R32 (l. to Agassi)

With Roger's victory, he maintains his ranking points at 5,805, compared to 7,100 for Rafael Nadal, who did not play this week.
