We're rightfully all celebrating Nadal reaching the lofty heights of 20 slams -and for many of us it feels as if a new day has dawned on the tennis world -but let's not forget to honour the greatness of Roger Federer.
He became the standard-setter on the new, slower courts. He created the path of chasing multiple slam wins that Nadal and Djokovic followed. And he is second only to Rosewall in his accomplishments as an "old" player.
Roger-you may no longer stand alone at the pinnacle of the Slam summit, but we continue to salute you.
