Roger Federer Sets New Australian Open Record with 3rd Round Win Last Night

Australian Open - Men's Third Round

2 Roger Federer d Xavier Malisse - 63 63 61

With the win Roger becomes the winningest man at the Australian Open.

Last night he surpassed Stefan Edberg and now has 57 match wins.

And climbing...

After a tough 2nd round 5-setter - Roger is sure to breeze to the Qf's.

I mean, Tommy Robredo in the next round - H2H: 9-0... it's a gimme, no?

Roger: I'm okay today and I'm happy I was able to come through it.

[It's] not the easiest thing to come back after a five setter, but I managed.

You think he'll need a new pair of Nikes next year?
