Centurion Roger Federer proves he’s still hungry with 100th ATP title

The legend of Roger Federer still doesn’t have an expiration date with the GOAT dispatching next gen players to become only the second man to win ATP titles in the triple digits.

Roger Federer is the greatest of all time. Hardly anyone disputes this now.

He’s also one of the biggest sports titans of the last 100 years. And he now has the number of titles to match. On Sunday he avenged his Australian Open loss to Stefan Tsitsipas in the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, 6-4, 6-4.

The list of records is staggering that the Swiss legend has accomplished. Here are all the awe-inspiring stats that the man owns:

1. 100 ATP titles, second only behind Jimmy Connors’s 109 (Open Era)
2. 20 grand slam titles
3. 30 men’s grand slam finals
4. Three seasons with three grand slams each
5. Reached all four grand slam finals in three seasons
6. Five or more grand slam titles in three tournaments (Australian, US, and Wimbledon)
7. Eight Wimbledon slam titles
8. Six ATP World Tour Final titles
9. Oldest No. 1 in history (age 36)
10. Most weeks at world No. 1 (310)
11. Also, most consective weeks at world No. 1 (237)
12. Most years in Top Two (11)
13. Also, most years in the Top Three (14)
14. 27 ATP Masters titles (third behind Nadal and Djokovic)

He has mastered tennis in his 20’s (66 ATP titles) and his 30’s (33 wins), while demonstrating great humility, establishing himself as not only the greatest icon in the sport, but its most beloved stateman. It’s no wonder that everyone weighed in to congratulate Federer with yet another inspiring achievement in the twilight of his career, including of course Jimmy Connors.

All the wins, starting with the first, in Milan, in 2001:

Tennis Hall of Fame– a place that knows the history of the game– recognized its greatest history maker:

Roger Federer has defeated the best in the game from three separate generations: the past beginning with the 2001 win over Pete Sampras at Wimbledon, his own with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic victories on multiple surfaces, and pretty much every next gen player (Alexander Zverev, Nick Kyrgios, and Borna Coric and Stefan Tsitsipas in the Dubai tournament alone).

Roger Federer is a centurion who continues adding to his legend.
