Australian Open Day 14: Federer Fast Facts
Federer's Australian Open victory marks only the third time since 1987 (when
the Australian Open moved to January) that a reigning year-end championship
winner (Tennis Masters Cup or ATP Tour World Championship) has gone on to win
the following year's Australian Open. Boris Becker won the 1995 ATP Tour World
Championship and then the 1996 Australian Open, and Pete Sampras claimed the
1996 ATP Tour World Championship, before going on to win the 1997 Australian
Open.
As the reigning Wimbledon champion, Federer is the first player since Pete
Sampras to win Wimbledon one year and the Australian Open the next. Pete
Sampras won his first Wimbledon crown in 1993 and went on to claim his first
of two Australian Open titles in 1994.
Federer is now guaranteed the No. 1 spot on the ATP Entry Ranking. He will
become the 23rd player and first Swiss man since the introduction of the world
rankings in 1973 to hold the No. 1 position. Semifinalist Juan Carlos Ferrero
will move up from No. 3 to No. 2 and Andy Roddick goes down to No. 3, having
held the top spot since 3 November 2003.
Federer's previous best Australian Open results have been round of 16 finishes
here for the past two years. He lost last year to David Nalbandian 64 36 61 16
63, and in 2002 to Tommy Haas 76 46 36 64 86, having held a match point leading
6-5 in the final set.
Federer reached the semifinals of the Australian Open boys' tournament in 1998,
losing to Andreas Vinciguerra 46 75 75. (Federer finished that year at No. 1 in
the junior rankings.)
Federer is currently playing without a coach, having parted company with long-
time mentor Peter Lundgren in December.
Federer became the fifth player to go from year-end No. 1 junior in the world
to ATP World No. 1:
