Roger Federer won his sixth Australian Open and 20th Grand Slam title with a five-set victory over Marin Cilic here yesterday.
The Swiss lost five games in a row as he dropped the fourth set but recovered to win 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 3-6 6-1.
Federer, 36, becomes only the fourth player after Margaret Court, Serena Williams and Steffi Graf to win 20 or more major singles titles.
“It’s a dream come true and the fairytale continues,” said Federer, who has won three of the last five majors.
