Swiss tennis ace Roger Federer bagged his 7th Halle grasscourt title on Sunday as he defeated Colombia's Alejandro Falla 7-6 (7/2), 7-6 (7/3) in the final.

The Swiss ace also said that he really enjoys winning titles, and that is what he plays for, to play and receive a standing ovation at the end.

Federer added that he is very pleased with his performance and with all the success he has had in the past, he needs to aim for titles.
