1 Roger Federer d Julian Reister - 64 60 64
Roger will play his friend Stanislas Wawrinka in the 4th round - H2H: 4-1/RF.
Today he recorded his 700th career ATP win & his 198th Slam win.
His first career win came in 1998 beating Guillaume Raoux in Toulouse.
His first Slam win came at the 2000 Australian Open beating Michael Chang.
In both cases it was his 3rd - 3rd tournament for 1st win; 3rd Slam 1st win.
He joins 9 others in the 700 club (in order):
Connors, Lendl, Vilas, McEnroe, Agassi, Edberg, Sampras, Nastase & Becker.
The ATP site asked fans if Roger can possibly reach 1000 match wins.
The answer is of course: who knows?
He only has 22 wins in 2010 so at that rate he'd have to play until he's 35.
But - if anyone can...
