Roger Federer has won a record-extending 10th title at the Halle Open after dispatching David Goffin in straight sets.

The opener was a close affair, but Federer held off three break points early in the set before prevailing in the tiebreaker 7-2.

The second set, however, was a completely different story as Federer pulled away by breaking the Belgian 3 times to win it 6-1.

Federer wrapped up the victory in 1 hour 25 minutes to secure his 102nd career singles title and remain unbeaten on grass this season.

The Swiss star is chasing a ninth Wimbledon crown in London next month as he looks to extend his record of 20 career majors.
