Roger Federer's verdict on whether record haul of 20 Grand Slam titles can be beat


“Nowadays such a strategy is much more part of your career. So, yes, a new, incredible player will, I believe, break our run of 20 Grand Slams eventually – but not overnight!”

The 40-year-old also commended Djokovic for an “phenomenal” season, after the world No 1 came within one match of winning the Calendar Grand Slam and a record 21st Major title at the US Open.

“I think his year again has been phenomenal. And it’s going to be very interesting to see, for all three of us, how our careers continue,” he said.

“I mean, it’s amazing, to be honest, that all three of us are at 20 Grand Slams. Wow. When I was coming up the record was 12 and ‘Pistol’ [Pete Sampras] got to it, you know, and went up to 14. Then I passed him in 2009, making it 15.”
