Well done Roger OK
He'll be hoping its 254 win by the end of this slam.

Most match wins at slam level.

This could turn out to be one of his unassailable records.

If he could get it to 300 it would be. Tough, but possible, just.

Even at 250 it's a massive record. Equal to 9 years of winning every slam Shocked

To be fair Connors (again) would still have this if he'd played Australia much.

http://www.tennis28.com/slams/matchwins_slam.html

11 wins in Australia against 98 (!!!!) at the USO and 84 at Wimbledon. Both records, the USO by MILES.

98 match wins @ USO = 14 tournaments wins!. Insane.

That's ridiculous. But then he did play till he was 60 or something.

I think Fed can get to 300 comfortably if he plays 3-4 years more including this one.

If Fed plays 3-4 more years and stay healthy you can put the record books in the vault for good once he retires.

BB the old man did well today. I only saw the briefest glimpse on news but there were some crazy angles played by him.

You keep thinking that he is in decline and of course he is, but other than Murray and Djokovic and Nadal no one seems to be beating him consistently

A fantastic record and one that is unlikely to be broken for a long time.

They have got to change the picture of him on the mobile bit of the ATP website though. They have made him look about 45!

Nah, leave it up there. It'll be spot on by the USO 2026.
