Federer warms up for Open with 80th ATP title

Ageless Swiss adds another 'big' trophy to overflowing cabinet

Roger Federer won his 80th career title and sixth at the Cincinnati Masters on Sunday, beating David Ferrer 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 to stamp himself as a US Open favorite.

The Swiss now goes into the final Grand Slam of the season in eight days as a legitimate threat after reaching the final last week in Toronto and claiming his 16th win without a loss against Spain's Ferrer over an 11-year span.
