Federer retains Hamburg Masters title
Switzerland's Roger Federer has retained his Hamburg Masters title with a comprehensive 6-3 7-5 7-6 victory over French teenager Richard Gasquet.
The world number one's win avenged his defeat by the 18-year-old Gasquet in the quarterfinals of the Monte Carlo Masters last month, one of only two losses Federer has suffered in his last 59 matches.
The top seed was never at his best but Gasquet, ranked 56, failed to convert his break points when they came as Federer secured his 19th consecutive victory in an ATP final.
