“What I like about (the 100th title) is that it gives some time to reflect on these great moments and great titles that are all important to me,” said Roger Federer. “It’s an achievement I never thought I’d make and something I only started thinking about in the past nine months. When you get to No 98, No 99, you start to think it’d be a pity to retire without hitting 100. It was nice to get there on the first attempt in a final.”
