He is the lion of the jungle.. Neither the fastest.. Or the tallest.. Or the biggest... But he is still the king... 😊😊 Long live the king... Well deserved victory..

[nicolasarias]

You just must feel incredible lucky to live in RF era. All of us will tell our grandchildren about this guy. Thanks Roger, just thank you.

Just as we thought Federer would close out the match in the 4th set, he loses his serve twice and Cilic pulls through. And with momentum and confidence going for him entering the 5th, was pretty sure Cilic was going to win. Federer had other plans, he elevated his game to another level and gave his opponent little chance. That's what makes him the greatest. He's able to elevate, adapt his game and play with uncanny coolness under adversity and extreme pressure. Remarkable.

Tennis will never be the same once Federer retires and what he accomplished is one of the greatest in sports history. *GOATwenty*

[thomasminer]

Unbelievable how roger can last for 5 sets at his age. Crazy

[HarrySmart]

Opponents change, Years change, but this guy remains at top. 20th grand slam. Hats off... #GOAT.

Roger Federer is the quintessential example of the sport and tradition of tennis. He lets his game speak for himself, and shows a true love for the game whether he's on the winning-side or not. It amazes me that he told his parents at the age of 12 he was leaving to go to a tennis academy to pursue his dream. These achievements we see here in the modern day were formed in his mind many years ago. Imagine being young and dreaming of breaking records in the sport, like total Major Wins, or even personal goals like serving 4-5 aces in a row, etc.

Determined to be the best whether he is currently at that level or not.

1:54 Picks up like that should tell you how talented this guy is. He was falling backwards all the while too. Insane volley, one of the very few good forehands he hit today.

[Harthyung]

Awkward moment : When Fed was going for handshakes but it’s a challenge from Cilic 😅

[robertferguson]

That was an amazing show. Tennis is the greatest sport on earth.

[hacantyapradipta]

Cilic pulled off the Houdini trick in the 4th set, winning 5 straight games, just like Federer did last year against Nadal in the 5th set.

But no matter how good of a magician you are, The Great Wizard of Basel will always be a step ahead of you.

20, what a number, what a journey, hopefully it's far from over
