Federer wins 1st title of year, beats Youzhny (Yahoo! Sports)

Switzerland's Roger Federer celebrates after winning the final against Mikhail Youzhny of Russia at the Gerry Weber Open tennis tournament in Halle Westphalia, Germany, Sunday, June 16, 2013. Roger Federer won his first title of the year, overcoming a sluggish start to beat unseeded Mikhail Youzhny 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-4 at the Gerry Weber Open on Sunday. Returning to grass in his favorite warm-up for Wimbledon, the top-seeded Federer looked lethargic until the middle of the second set, when he started hitting shots with confidence.
