From the “On This Day In Roger Federer History” book, fans can look back at all the great moments in the career of all-time legend Roger Federer. Let”s look back at Federer’s final major tournament victory…
January 28, 2018: Roger Federer wins his 20th and ultimately his final major singles title defeating Marin Cilic 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in the final of the Australian Open. Federer joins Roy Emerson and Novak Djokovic as a six-time winner of the Australian championships and, at the age of 36, Federer becomes the second-oldest man to win a Grand Slam singles title, only behind Ken Rosewall, who won the Australian Open in 1972 at 37. On winning his 20th
major singles titles, Federer says, “I was not allowed to think of it going into the match, because that’s exactly when things go bad, when you think too far ahead…All day I was thinking, ‘How would I feel if I won it? How would I feel if I lost it? I’m so close, yet so far.’ I think I was going through the whole match like this. I’ve had these moments in the past, but maybe never as extreme as tonight. Getting to 20 is obviously very, very special, no doubt.”
