A few Twitter reactions to Roger Federer’s 20th Grand Slam title
Roger Federer won his 20th Grand Slam title on Sunday when he beat Marin Cilic in five sets in the Australian Open final.
And of course the tennis community was on hand to congratulate to the Swiss Maestro.
This tweet sums up his greatness. It’s in the Open Era, in case you were confused.
Roger Federer has won 10% of all the tennis Grand Slams ever played. #GOAT
