WIMBLEDON, England (AP) Roger Federer beat Marat Safin in straight sets Saturday, leaving him one win from his sixth consecutive Wimbledon title and 13th Grand Slam championship.
Federer, who hasn't dropped a set all tournament, never lost serve as he outplayed the Russian 6-3, 7-6 (3), 6-4 with a nearly flawless performance for his 65th straight win on grass and 40th in a row at the All England Club.
"It's great, a beautiful feeling, being able to get the opportunity to win the title again," Federer said after the clinical 1-hour, 42-minute victory. "It means so much to me."
