Hall of Fame
Looking at some of the achievements of Federer at this year's US Open (assuming no walkovers):
If he reaches the quarterfinals, he will have reached at least 10 quarterfinals at all four Grand Slams. The next best is 7 by Lendl, Agassi, and Djokovic.
If he reaches the semifinals, he will have the record for most career hard court match wins.
If he reaches the semifinals, he would be the oldest player to reach 3 grand slam semifinals in one season.
If he reaches the finals, he will have the outright record for most Wimbledon and US Open finals combined. He will join Sampras as the only players to reach at least 7 finals at 2 different Grand Slams.
If he reaches the finals, he will have won 20 grand slam matches for the 9th season in his career. By comparison, Sampras had 3 years and Nadal has had 4 and Novak will be going for 4.
If he wins, he becomes the first player to ever win 2 different Grand slams at least 6 times. He would have the open era record for most years (11) between winning 2 different Grand Slams.
If he wins, he becomes the first player in the open era to win 6 Grand Slams after the age of 26.
