Federer becomes world No. 2 after winning Madrid Masters title | Tennis ace Roger Federer has become world No. 2 after winning his third Madrid Masters title against Czech Republican Tomas Berdych. After winning the Madrid title, Federer has overtaken Radel Nadal
in world rankings, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. Federer won the title after
defeating Berdych 3-6, 7-5, 7-5. "We both played a nice match, but Roger showed
why he's the star," Berdych said, adding, "He was able to win in the conditions,
it was well done." The Swiss, with 16 Grand Slam titles, will now stand behind
Novak Djokovic on the ATP list after sending Nadal to the third position. "I feel
amazing," said Federer, who came through on his fourth match point as Berdych
ploughed a forehand into the net. "This is a tough tournament and a brutal draw.
I'm playing well and I'm so happy to win this once again," Federer added. The
30-year-old went level with Nadal on 20 career titles at Masters 1000 level, with
both men sharing the overall record.
