 | Federer is the master of five-seasons battles29-01-2018 |
Roger Federer won his 20th Grand Slam title and sixth in the Australian Open after defeating Marin Chilich in a five-seater battle. The Swiss is in an unbelievable position and, beyond all records and unprecedented statistics, has been impressed with one more fact:for the first time in his career, he has won six consecutive five-seasons.
The beginning of this impressive series was given last year in Melbourne when Federer had to overtake Kai Nishikori in the fourth round and Stan Wawrinka in the semifinals that way. The duel for the title against Rafael Nadal was also solved in the last possible set, and the US Open Maestro was again tested to the very limit, and in the first two rounds against Frances Tiafo and Mihail South. The final with Chilich in 2018 is now the sixth successive success in the longest possible format of the Swiss master.
