Roger Federer closing in on world No 1 spot after claiming 20th Grand Slam in Australia

Roger Federer has regenerated himself over time and is now “looking a certainty to regain that world number one ranking in February, which would be nothing short of incredible,” says Barry Cowan.

Federer savoured the latest chapter of a late-career fairy tale that delivered a sixth Australian Open crown on Sunday and a very special 20th Grand Slam title.

The defending champion, survived a second set freeze and a late rally by sixth seed Marin Cilic before winning 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 3-6 6-1 under the closed roof of Rod Laver Arena.
