Swiss legend Federer called time on his career with 20 Grand Slam titles, with that tally behind only Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
Still playing on the ATP Tour, Djokovic has 24 such wins to his name, with Nadal having retired last season on 22.
Another legend in Andre Agassi said Federer was the best player he played against, with the latter having added 11 Grand Slam runner-up finishes to his 20 wins.

And speaking after the success on the clay court, the Swiss icon said: “It was probably my greatest victory, I was under big pressure. I did it and it’s phenomenal.
