.@rogerfederer's 14-0 record in the quarterfinals of the #AusOpen is the best by any player in the quarterfinals of any Slam in history.

As the commentator pointed out, you take away so many memories from a Federer's match. Another terrific win. #AusOpen

With every interview that Federer gives, I continue to be in awe of his memory.

Man is an encyclopedia on tennis. #AusOpen

Federer on winning all matches in straight sets: "In a way I prefer it this way, because I wake up walking normally, whereas last year I was like 'oh my God, my back, leg or foot', but pain is good sometimes and those 5-setters, they're so worthwhile, you take them with you."

It's amazing how much Roger Federer manages to seemingly enjoy every aspect of his job, even the ones others find most tedious. That attitude has to be a massive contributor to his longevity.

At 36 years and 173 days, Roger Federer becomes the oldest man to reach:

- #AusOpen SFs since Ken Rosewall (42 years 68 days) in January 1977
- Grand Slam SFs since Jimmy Connors (39 years 6 days) at 1991 US Open

Federer admits to being ‘antsy’ with umpire Fergus Murphy, but that he was probably right.

Antsy Fed. Who says Flinders Station is drawn on his shoes because ‘storytelling in sport is important and trophies aren’t allowed’.

Hard to believe this bloke is for real.
