Yesterday, Federer reached his 50th Grand Slam quarterfinal.
He has reached a Grand Slam quarterfinal without losing a set in the first 4 rounds at the following slams:
Australian Open - 2005, 2007, 2012, 2013, 2014
French Open - 2005, 2007, 2010, 2011
Wimbledon - 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2014, 2016, 2017
US Open - 2006, 2010, 2012, 2015
From 2004-2010 - 11 times
From 2011-2017 - 9 times
Of course, efficiency in the first four rounds of the tournament has not equated to great success in winning Grand Slams post-prime, but I would have thought that Federer would have struggled more in early round matches.
