   Points won by each set: | 29-23, 37-27 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   47 % Federer – 24 of 51
   30 % Kohlschreiber – 20 of 65

   Second meeting between them; at the time Federer [1] was the best in the world fifth straight season. The Swiss saved a double break point at 1-all and never looked back. That easy victory set up the tone of their following matches… 14-0 for Federer in the end while Kohlschreiber [40] was close to win only once, their match no. 9 (Halle ’15). The score “6-3, 6-4” occurred thrice in that rivalry, always with one break for each set (also in Halle three years earlier when the German was just building his position of the regular ATP player, and in Paris ’13 when they both were in their 30s).

   Federer’s route to his 55th title:
   1 Michael Berrer 6-4, 6-2
   2 Jan Vacek 7-5, 6-3
   Q Marcos Baghdatis 6-4, 6-4
   S Nicolas Kiefer 6-1, 6-4
   W Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-3, 6-4

   Serve & volley: Federer 2/4, Kohlschreiber 1/1

   Federer was unbroken during the week, the only match he didn’t face a break point it was the one with the best score for his opponent (Vacek)…
   2nd set of the final played under the roof

   In 2023, he and Kohlschreiber, have won the most matches in Halle, 69 & 33 respectively
