It was an all-Swiss encounter as Federer met Stan Wawrinka in Sunday's final. Federer having been sidelined for almost six months last year has made an incredible return to the game, winning his second title in the space of eight weeks.
On his way to the final he defeated Robert Stephane, Steve Johnson, he had a walkover against Nick Kyrgios and he beat Jack Sock in the semis. He also defeated Rafael Nadal in the fourth round, only dropping five games in the process.
"I've lost some tough ones against you, but when you played the final in Australia, I was your biggest fan," a choked up Wawrinka told Federer at the trophy ceremony. "So congratulations on your comeback and congratulations on today."
