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)

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.
