Federer Fantastic in Hamburg


May 15, 2005 - World No. 1 Roger Federer overcame French qualifier Richard Gasquet 6-3, 7-5, 7-6(4) to claim his third ATP Masters Hamburg title in four years and extend his record ATP title streak to 19 consecutive finals.

With the win, Federer avenged his loss to the 18-year-old Gasquet in the Monte-Carlo quarterfinals. Federer now moves 110 points ahead of second-placed Rafael Nadal in the Indesit ATP 2005 rankings.

The Hamburg victory gives Federer his third ATP Masters Series title of the year – and his sixth title from his past 10 ATP Masters Series appearances.
