, January 28, 2018
Roger Federer won his 20th Grand Slam title with a five-set victory over Marin Cilic in the Australian Open today. It was the sixth Australian Open title for Federer, 36.
The Swiss national becomes only the fourth player after Margaret Court, Serena Williams and Steffi Graf to win 20 or more major singles titles.
There was hardly a dry eye in Rod Laver Arena, as Roger Federer shed tears in a display of an emotion after receiving the trophy. "It's a dream come true and the fairytale continues," said Federer, who has won three of the last five majors.
