....but I just wanted to point your attention to the fact that Roger is on his longest ever winning streak. Ever since losing to Rafa at Roland Garros, Federer has won 28 consecutive wins. Victory over Gilles Muller will put Roger equal with Sampras' longest streak of 29 matches won, set in 1994.
Here are some winning streak records!
There were 5 players who won 30+ consecutive matches in the open era.
