3 milestones Federer achieved at the 2020 Australian Open

#2 First player to win 100 matches at the Australian Open

Federer greets Millman following the pair's third round match

After surging through the first two rounds of the 2020 Australian Open without dropping a set, Federer met John Millman in a repeat of the pair's 2018 US Open fourth round clash.

It was Millman who was quicker off the blocks, taking a one-set lead, before Federer seemingly assumed control of proceedings by taking a two sets to one lead. However, the 38-year-old's inability to close out the win in four saw Millman force a fifth set where the Australian came within two points of a famous win in the tiebreak.

But Federer won six consecutive points to deny Millman another upset win, in the process becoming the first player to win 100 matches at the Australian Open. The win over Millman also made Federer the first player to win 100 matches at two different tournaments (also Wimbledon).
