4 - Jimmy Connors (5 U.S. Opens)
8 - John McEnroe (4 U.S. Opens)
8 - Andre Agassi (4 Australian Opens)
8 - Rafael Nadal (4 French Opens)

Federer has so many Grand Slam records by now that it's getting hard to organize them in any sort!

Consecutive final wins - reaching the final and winning

He is the only player in the Open era to have won his first 7 Grand Slam finals (reaching the final and winning), until his loss to Nadal in the French 06.

The former record of the open era was only 3, by Borg.

In the 19th century (!) Richard Sears and William Renshaw also won their first 7 Grand Slam finals.

Consecutive Grand Slam wins

He is the only player in open Era to have won 3 consecutive Grand Slams twice (Wimbledon 05 - Australian 06 and Wimbledon 06 - Australian 07).

On top of that, he also won Wimbledon 04 and the US 04 consecutivly, Wimbledon 07 and the US 07 and Roland Garros and Wimbledon 09.

Back to back wins

If we count back to back wins at Grand Slams in the open era, then Federer already tops the list, having acomplished that 7 times until now. On second place on the list is Sampras, wth 4 back to back wins.

Calender year feats

Federer is also the only player in history, male or female, to have won:

15 Grand Slams in 7 calender years (2003 to 2009)
14 Grand Slams in 6 calender years (2004 to 2009)
13 Grand Slams in 6 calender years (2003 to 2008)
12 Grand Slams in 5 calender years (2003 to 2007 and/or 2004 to 2008)
11 Grand Slams in 4 calender years (2004 to 2007)
8 Grand Slams in 3 calender years (2004 to 2006)
6 Grand Slams in 2 calender years (2006 to 2007)
3 Grand Slams in one calender year on three different ocasions (2004, 2006 and 2007)

By winning the 2007 Australian Open, Federer won his 6th Grand Slam singles title in 7 attempts, equalling Laver's accomplishment;

With his victory at the 2006 Australian Open, Federer became the first man to win three consecutive Grand Slam titles since Sampras in 1993-94. Federer repeated this feat at the 2007 Australian Open, making him the only man to achieve this feat twice in the open era.

By wining Wimbledon in 2007, he won his 7th Grand Slam singles title in his last 9 attempts; and

By winning the 2007 US Open, Federer won his 8th Grand Slam singles title in his last 10 attempts;

11 of his Grand Slam titles came in only 16 attempts; in fact, his first 12 Grand Slam titles came in 18 consective attemps, from Wimbledon 2003 till the US Open 2007.

No other male player has even come close to doing this and on the women's side, only Martina Navratilova came close by winning 11 Grand Slams singles titles out of 17 attempts.

Federer has won his 15 majors in a span of 25 Grand Slam events, going back to 2003. The best streak Sampras ever produced was winning nine of 17 in a span from 1993 to 1997. You have to go to the women's side to find comparable examples. Martina Navratilova won 14 of 23 majors from 1982 to '87 -- the densest concentration of championship excellence on record -- and Steffi Graf took 14 of 25 between 1988 and 1994.

Diferent Grand Slam titles

He is one of only six players to have one all 4 Grand Slams and one of only two players to have won them all in 3 different surfaces.

He is also the only male player in history to have won 3 different Grand Slam titles at least three times each (Australian Open: 3; Wimbledon: 6; U.S.Open: 5).

Federer is the only male player to win five consecutive Wimbledon singles titles (2003-2007), five consecutive U.S. Open singles titles (2004-2008), and two consecutive Australian Open (2006-2007) titles at the same time.

Federer is the only player, male or female, to win five consecutive Wimbledon singles titles (2003-2007) and five consecutive U.S. Open singles titles (2004-2008).

Federer has won the most consecutive titles in the Open Era at three different Slams: Australian Open = 2, Wimbledon = 6, US Open = 5 consecutive. This is the first time a single player has at least tied three Slam win streaks, let alone at the same time (not counting the trivial case at the inception of the Open Era where one Slam was the maximum).

Federer is the only male player to win five consecutive Wimbledon singles titles (2003-2007), five consecutive U.S. Open singles titles (2004-2008), and two consecutive Australian Open (2006-2007) titles at the same time, besides being runner up at three consecutive French Opens (2006-2008) also at the same time.

By winning Wimbledon 2007, Federer became the only man to have won at least 2 Grand Slam titles per year for 4 consecutive years and after his 2009 French Open win only the third (after Borg and Sampras, with 8 years) to win at least one Grand Slam title for 7 consecutive years.

Federer is the only player in history to win 2 of the same Grand Slam titles (ie. Wimbledon and US Open) for four consecutive years (2004-2007) simultaneously. Björn Borg won Wimbledon and the French Open four consecutive times each, but unlike Federer, not simultaneously.

Winning without dropping a set

There are only 5 players in the open era who have won Grand Slams without dropping a set:

Ken Rosewell - Australian Open 71
Ilie Nastase - French Open 73
Bjorn Borg - Wimbledon 76 and French Open 78 and 80 (3 times, a record)
Roger Federer - Australian Open 07
Rafael Nadal - French Open 08

Grand Slam titles sucessfully defended the next year

Federer is in first place in Grand Slams titles sucessefuly defended the next year, with 9 (1 Australian, 4 Wimbledons, 4 US Opens).

The Grand Slams that he won and wasn´t able to defend were the Australian Opens in 04 and 07 and Wimbledon in 2008, when he lost to Marat Safin in the semis in 2005 and Djokovic in the semis in 2008 and Nadal in the final in 2008.

Bjorn Borg has 8 sucesseful defenses, and he didn´t defend titles on two ocasions. Sampras is in third place with 6 sucesseful defences. Defending 8 of his 9 titles at one point is in itself another record Federer holds alone.

Of all these players, Federer has the second best win-loss ratio in finals (behind Sampras), with 15-5 (he had, at one point, when he was 12-2, the best win-loss ratio of any player with at least 8 Grand Slam titles (12 diferent players) or at least 8 presences in finals (29 diferent players).
If you take into acount only the open era, Federer has the second best win-loss ratio (also behind Sampras) of any player that has won or participated in at least 4 Grand Slam finals (24 diferent players).

Federer is the only player to have reached the final of all 4 Grand Slam tournaments at least 4 tmes! Federer is also the first player since Rod Laver in 1969 to reach the final of all 4 Grand Slam tournaments during one year (2006 and 2007); he is also the first man to reach all four Grand Slam finals in a calendar year for two years in a row (2006-2007).

Federer will need at least two more years to break Jimmy Connors record of 31 (non-consecutive) appearences in Grand Slam semi-finals, so this is one for the long run.

Consecutive Semi-finals (open era)

If you consider only consecutive Grand Slam semi-final appearences, than Federer, by reaching the final at the Wimbledon 2009, already leads the list, with 21 and counting (Wimbledon 04 -Wimbledon 09). In second place is Ivan Lendl with 10.

1 - Roger Federer - 21 (2004 WM-2009 WM)
2 - Ivan Lendl - 10 (1985 US-1988 AO)
3 - Ivan Lendl - 6 (1983 WM-1984 US)

1 - Roger Federer - 21 (2004 WM-2009 RG)
2 - Jimmy Connors 11 (1976 US-1980 US)
3 - Ivan Lendl 10 (1985 US-1988 AO)

5 - Bjorn Borg 6 (1980 RG-1981 US)
5 - Ivan Lendl 6 (1983 WM-1984 US)

Overall Quarter-finals (open era)

2 - Andre Agassi - 36 (26-10)
3 - Ivan Lendl - 34 (28-6)

13 - Ken Rosewall - 15 (13-2)
13 - Jim Courier - 15 (11-4)
13 - Arthur Ashe - 15 (10-5)

Of all these players, Federer has, percentage-wise, the best win-loss record with 23 wins and 2 losses.

Consecutive quarter-finals (open era)

If you consider only consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final appearences, than Federer, by reaching the quarters of Wimbledon in 2009, is once again in first place on his own, with 21 and counting (Wimbledon 04 - Wimbledon 09). Ivan Lendl's is in second place with 14 appearences, between 1985 and 1989.

1 - Roger Federer - 21 (2004 WM-2009 WM)
2 - Ivan Lendl - 14 (1985 US-1989 AO)
3 - Pete Sampras - 10 (1992 RG-1994 WM)
4 - Ivan Lendl - 7 (1983 RG-1984 US)
4 - Mats Wilander - 7 (1987 RG-1988 US)
6 - John Newcombe - 6 (1968 US-1970 AO)
6 - Andre Agassi - 6 (1994 US-1996 AO)
6 - Rafael Nadal - 6 (2006 RG-2007 WM)

Consecutive Quarter-finals (open era) (slams entered)

If you consider only the Grand Slams that a player actually entered, then Jimmy Connors leads the way with an astonishing 27 consecutive appearences between 1973 and 1983. Federer is in 2nd place with 21 appearences.

1 - Jimmy Connors - 27 (1973 WM-1983 RG)
2 - Roger Federer - 21 (2004 WM-2009 WM)
3 - Ivan Lendl - 14 (1985 US-1989 AO)
4 - Bjorn Borg - 12 (1978 RG-1981 US)
5 - Pete Sampras - 11 (1991 US-1994 WM)
6 - John McEnroe - 9 (1980 WM-1983 WM)

Federer will need at least 5 more years to break Jimmy Connors record of 41 appearences in Grand Slam quarter-finals, and at least 6 more Slams reaching quarter finals consecutively to break Connors 27 appearences in quarter-finals of Grand Slam entered, so these two are definitivly for the very long run. Maybe it's just the thing he will need to keep himself motivated in his early 30s...

Grand Slam appearences (open era only)

Federer has played in 41 Grand Slams, which ties him in 54th place at the moment; Fabrice Santoro leads the lot with 69 appearences in total, and Agassi is 2nd with 61 so it will take Federer at least 7 years without missing a Grand Slam to brake the record. He would need to play at least until he is 35 years old.

Consecutive Grand Slam appearences (open era only)

Federer has 39 consecutive Grand Slam appearences, starting at the 2000 Australian right up till the 2009 Wimbledon; he is currently in 5th place; Wayne Ferreira leads the list with 56 consecutive appearences.

1 - Wayne Ferreira - 56 (1991 AO-2004 US)
2 - Stefan Edberg - 54 (1983 WM-1996 US)
3 - Fabrice Santoro - 44 (1998 US-2009 WM)
3 - Dominik Hrbaty - 44 (1997 AO-2007 US)
5 - Roger Federer - 39 (2000 AO-2009 WM)

Federer could brake this record at the Australian Open in January of 2014; he will be 32 years old by then.
