Despite nursing an injury, Federer broke him in the third game of the first set and there on he looked confident. Eventually he beat the Frenchman in straight sets 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. “I’m unbelievably happy. Amazing feeling to be celebrating with my friends,” said Federer. “Just a great match, great atmosphere. It was a beautiful weekend for tennis.”
As a result, his country became only the 14th nation in the competition’s 115-year history to win the Davis Cup trophy. Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka, Marco Chiudinelli, and Michael Lammer were the players who won the title for Switzerland.
Roger Federer is the most successful Swiss player
Federer set a record as the most successful Swiss player in Davis Cup history, adding to his long list of dazzling triumphs. His victory over Gasquet was his 50th in the tournament, putting him above Jakob Hlasek for the most total victories.
