Roger solidifies the fact that he is one of the greatest players of all time by becoming the first active player to win 200 matches against Top 10 opponents after beating Kei Nishikori in the 2017 Australian Open. "It's great," he said following his victory over Nishikori. "I didn't know it going in. I just know I played a lot of tennis. Obviously I want to play really well against the best players. I was able to do that sometimes, but tonight was special, no doubt about it. Going five against Kei here on Rod Laver Arena with the comeback, it's definitely very special. A fitting way to celebrate that milestone." Roger has defeated 41 different top 10 players including a long list of former World No. 1s.
