Roger Federer Makes History with 1000th ATP Tour Win: Defeats Milos Raonic in Brisbane Final

It was a career highlight for one of the greatest tennis players in history. On January 11, 2015, Roger Federer won his 1000th match on the ATP Tour in the final in Brisbane. Federer won 6:4, 6:7 (2:7) and 6:4 against Milos Raonic from Canada. He was the better player against Raonic from the start and dictated almost the entire game, but gave up a break lead in the second set.

Federer was only the third player in the world to break this barrier, after Jimmy Connors, who has a total of 1,274 wins, and Ivan Lendl (1,086). Both Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have now followed suit with 1066 and 1084 wins respectively (as of January 10, 2024).
