We all know about his 19 slam titles and it's amazing obviously. But nobody talk too much about this one, I find quite impressive too:

10 slam finals in a row.

From Wimbledon 2005 to US Open 2007, he reached all slam finals.

And it's even more impressive if you consider he missed the AO 2008 Final (lost in SF to Djokovic), but then managed to reach the next 8 finals from RG 2008 to AO 2010. So, 18 out of 19.

:worship:

1. Bageling one of the greatest players of all time on grass, hard, and clay.
2. 14 time consecutive winner of ATP Fan favorite award from 2003-2016 (and running) - unprecedented.
3. 12 time winner of Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship award voted by fellow players (2004-2009, 2011-2016) - unprecedented.

I think the above three records will stand the test of time, even if the others don't.

In reality, Federer is treated like God in the tennis world, so none of his records are underrated. How much adoration do Fedtards think Roger needs in order to have a happy life? The tards need it, Roger doesn't, as he has a very happy and fulfilling life outside of tennis.

At 35 years 11 months, Federer became the oldest player by far in tennis history to win his 2nd men's singles major in a season.





Extraordinarily,
masterclass

Yep, the 18 out of 19 slam finals is insane. He has the top 2 longest streaks of slam finals in a row and they are only separated by a semi-final loss.

But 24 finals won in a row is insane, I don't think that can be broken any time soon.






I don't see anyone claiming that.

Winning streaks imo

41 match win streak, multiple 20 and 30 something win streaks like nothing. 50+ win streak on hard court which is just insane to think of and then 60+ win streak on grass courts where anything can happen is even more impressive

For me the 23 Consecutive Semifinal streak (2004 Wimbledon- 2010 Australian Open)

Funny thing is that he only lost to Rafa, Novak, Del Potro or Safin during that run who all went on to win the tournament later.

This is the most solid statement of Roger GODLY consistency and success on the tour.

And for 30 SFs:

Code:
1	Roger Federer				33
2	Novak Djokovic				37
3	Jimmy Connors				56
30 QFs:
Code:
1	Roger Federer				30
2	Novak Djokovic				31
3	Ivan Lendl				36
4	Andy Murray				37
5	Jimmy Connors				45
6	Rafael Nadal				45
7	Andre Agassi				56
Djokovic is also the youngest to reach 20 SFs, and also 21, 22, ..., 31. A SF at the AO 2018 would make him the youngest to get to 32, too.
He is also the youngest to get to 19 QFs, and also 20, 21, ..., 39. And he has a lot or margin to extend this to 40, 41, etc

Every record of Roger's is underrated. The guy holds almost all relevant records, yet his haters keep putting him down.

for me it's not record but king of unique achievement like Beating Grass GOAT in 2001 before his prime and then defeating 16 years after a 15 slam champ in a 5 set at 35.5 years old. It is likely to be unbroken.

105 points without making an unforced error vs Isner: crazy, it means when Roger is in the zone/cloud/planet he is unreachable.

0 retirements during a match in his career: incredible since it shows respect for opponent, crowd who bought tickets and show he is a fantastic athlete well prepared by underrated Pierre Pagagnini (fitness coach)

but the greatest achievement might be to come if he finishes number 1 at 36 by winning 3 slams in a season with one of them without dropping a set and another one by defeating 4 TOP 10.

other incredible thing he only got bagelled by CLAY GOAT on clay after he won 1st GS.

Roger is like a jewel, no matter where and how you look at it, it looks great and shine everyday
