Unfortunate Chung was forced to retire - amazing tournament. But Federer anyway too experienced, clever, & classy. Simply fierce competitor. #AusOpen

The finesse, pure elegance of Federer is phenomenal. He is a true legend of the sport. #Federer

The one element of Federer’s game that more players need to attempt to replicate is his looseness. Federer plays so relaxed. Helps prevent injury, makes him faster and creates racket head speed.

“I have a nice trophy cabinet, it’s beautiful I love it” - R Federer. Greatest quote ever! 😂

Federer could end up with more slams than Serena if he keeps this up. Who would have thought that circa 2017?

Been trying for last 20 minutes to think of something cool to say about Roger Federer reaching yet another Grand Slam final and failing miserably. The man continues to leave us searching for words.#AusOpen

Federer on his trophies: "Sometimes I look at them and I'm like 'wow'. And then I'm like 'who cares? It's just tennis.'"

If Roger Federer beats Marin Cilic on Sunday, it will be the first time he wins back to back titles at a Grand Slam tournament since US Open 2008, almost 10 years ago.

I think everyone who wrote an article saying “ Federer Is Done “ between Wimbledon 12’ and Australian Open ‘17 should have to repost their article along with a statement. #media #whitenoise #goat
