#2 Most match wins at the Australian Open

At the 2019 Australian Open, two-time defending champion Federer beat Denis Istomin, Daniel Evans, and Taylor Fritz in straight sets to book a first-time meeting with young Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.

The third round win over Fritz extended Federer's record tally of match wins at the Australian Open to 97. The next best tally belongs to 7-time champion Djokovic (68), who is some distance away from catching up with the Swiss maestro.

Federer went down to Tsitsipas in four sets to make his earliest exit at the tournament in four years (2015 3R: lost to Andreas Seppi) and his first fourth round ouster at the Australian Open since losing to David Nalbandian in 2003.
