On Sunday it is the ambassador of the champagne brand, who won the trophy! Roger Federer defeated in two sets 6/2-6/2 the Belgian player David Goffin. It was its 6th time winning in Basel and the shortest final of the Swiss Indoors. Federer is only a short step away from becoming number 1 again. Some say he may achieve it before the end of the year. He is now competing at Paris/Bercy and then heading to London for the Masters before playing the final of the Coupe Davis.
