Roger Federer has beaten Marton Fucsovics to reach a record 57th grand slam quarter-final at the Australian Open.
The Swiss superstar, who is the third seed at the tournament in Melbourne, will play his 15th Australian Open quarter-final against world number 100 Tennys Sandgren on Tuesday.
Federer will be hoping for another victory to take him through to his 46th grand slam semi-final.
Federer holds a multitude of tennis records as a result of his glittering career in the sport.
He has the most singles career titles (20), the most appearances in grand slam finals (31) and the most Wimbledon men’s titles (8).
He also shares the record for the most consecutive Wimbledon men’s titles with Bjorn Borg, after winning the championship five times between 2003 and 2007.
Federer’s influence on tennis is huge. The player’s skill and power has set new standards for the sport since his first grand slam victory at Wimbledon in 2003.
Since then, Federer has surpassed many records in the men’s game and continues to perform at a high level.
To date, Federer’s title span has surpassed 17 years and the Swiss maestro will hope that this run continues at the Australian Open.
He last won the championship back in 2018, beating Croatia’s Marin Cilic in a closely fought match.
His victory meant Federer retained the title he won in 2017, where he beat Spain’s Rafael Nadal with a stunning performance.
Federer is a cultural phenomenon in the world of tennis.
He won the ATP Fans’ Favourite Award 16 times in a row between 2003 and 2018, as well as winning the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year five times during his career.
Given the player’s huge record of achievements, he has been widely regarded as one of the best players of all time.
He has held the world Number 1 spot on the ATP ranking for longer than any other male and has been voted as Switzerland’s Sports Personality of the Year a record seven times.
Let’s hope that Roger Federer continues to demonstrate brilliant performance in the Australian Open and breaks even more records.
