Federer draws level with Sampras by claiming Stockholm title


(CNN) -- Roger Federer claimed his third title of the season with a 6-4 6-3 victory over Germany's Florian Mayer in the final of the Stockholm Open on Sunday.
It was the world number two's 64th career ATP title, joining Pete Sampras in fourth on the all-time career list.
American legend Jimmy Connors with 109 tournament wins heads the list, with Ivan Lendl (94) in second and John McEnroe (77) third.
The 16-time grand slam winner was always in command as he bounced back from his defeat to Andy Murray in last week's Shanghai Masters final.
His last visit to Sweden had been a decade ago when he was beaten in the second round, but this time around he made no mistake.
"Ten years ago I came here with no expectations and now I'm back as the favourite,' Federer told AFP.
