Roger Federer is the only man to have won the final at all 4 Grand Slams in straight sets

Roger Federer is arguably the greatest tennis player of all time and has 20 Grand Slam titles to his name. A lesser-known fact about the Swiss maestro is that he is the only player in the history of the men's game to win the finals of all four Slams in straight sets.

Fred Perry, Don Budge, Rod Laver, Roy Emerson, Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have all completed the Career Slam but none of them have matched Federer's feat.

The former World No. 1 has won the Australian Open on six occasions. His finals wins over Marat Safin in 2004, Fernando Gonzalez in 2007 and Andy Murray in 2010 all came in straight sets.

Roger Federer won the French Open in 2009 by beating Robin Soderling 6-1, 7-6(1), 6-4 in the final. This remains the only French Open title of Federer's career; he has lost in the final on numerous occasions to his great rival Rafael Nadal.

Meanwhile, at Wimbledon, Federer won the 2003 final against Mark Philippoussis, the 2005 final against Andy Roddick and the 2017 final against Marin Cilic in straight sets. The Swiss has won the British Major a record eight times, with his latest win coming in 2017.

Roger Federer's incredible dominance at the US Open in the mid 2000s

Federer in action at the US Open against Andy Roddick

At the US Open, Roger Federer has won three finals in straight sets: 2004, 2007 and 2008 against Lleyton Hewitt, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, respectively.

In the other two finals that he has won in New York, Federer dropped only one set in each match. Incredibly, the Swiss maestro won the US Open title every year between 2004-2008.

However, he has not won the US Open since 2008 and has lost a couple of finals to the likes of Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin del Potro.

Federer infamously squandered match points against Djokovic in the semifinals of the US Open in 2010 and 2011, as well as the Wimbledon final in 2019.
