With the U.S. Open a little more than a month away, I think it is time to start pondering some of the records that Federer can tie or break there.
If he wins the U.S. Open, he would become the first male player ever to win at least three Grand Slams in three different years.
If he wins the U.S. Open, he would become the first male player since Bill Tilden (1920-1925) to win four consecutive U.S. Opens.
If he wins the U.S. Open, he would further add to his record of winning both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in four consecutive years.
If he wins the U.S. Open, he would join Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras as the only male players to win two different Grand Slams at least four times.
If he reaches the final, he would become the first male player in the open era to reach the final of all four slams in two different years.
If he reaches the semifinals of the U.S. Open, I believe he would become the first male player ever to reach at least the semifinals of all four majors in the same year in three different years.
If he reaches the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open, he would tie Ivan Lendl's record for most consecutive Grand Slam finals reached with 14 (of course, Federer already has the record for finals and semifinals).
If he wins the U.S. Open, he would become the first male player ever to win at least three Grand Slams in three different years.
If he wins the U.S. Open, he would become the first male player since Bill Tilden (1920-1925) to win four consecutive U.S. Opens.
