This is the first time Federer has won 10 titles in a single tournament, joining Rafael Nadal as the only dozen who have achieved that feature at Open Wind.
Swiss legend defeated Belgian tennis player David Goffin 2:0 in sets, 7:6H2), 6:1, in Sunday's final.
This is the 102nd title for Federer, which now stands only seven trophies away from Jimmy Connors' absolute record of 109 titles. Also, this is Switzerland's 19th bar title.
Federer became the oldest tennis player to be named tennis champion since 43-year-old Ken Rosewall in 1977.
Federer's triumph in Halle comes at a good time in front of the Grand Slam grand, Wimbledon, which begins on July 1st.
