Roger Federer brought everyone to tears with his victory speech following record Grand Slam

You can't use enough superlatives when describing Roger Federer.

Nearly two decades after entering the professional leagues, Roger Federer is still winning Grand Slams. Federer became the 2018 Australian Open champion on Sunday, but it wasn't exactly smooth sailing against a game Marin Cilic. The Swiss legend lost five games in a row as he dropped the fourth set but made a remarkable recovery to take a 6-2 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 3-6 6-1 win. His celebrations were briefly delayed when the match-winning point was challenged. The replay showed that he made the shot by the finest of margins. https://twitter.com/AustralianOpen/status/957578892943896576 With the win, Federer becomes only the fourth player to win 20 or more singles Grand Slam titles. He joins  Margaret Court, Serena Williams and Steffi Graf as one of the players to complete this incredible feat. At the age of 36 years, 173 days, Federer is also closing in on another record. He became the second-oldest man to win a Grand Slam title in the Open era after Ken Rosewall, who won the 1972 Australian Open at 37. As he mentioned in his victory speech as he fought back the tears, "It's a dream come true and the fairytale continues," https://twitter.com/Eurosport_UK/status/957585146152026112 The raw emotion Federer showed in victory really struck a chord with people. Despite all his success and all the times he's been in this position before, he still has the ambition to be great. He never lost that enthusiasm for his passion, even when he was dominating. Federer wasn't alone in shedding tears over the momentous achievement. His speech got the waterworks flowing around the globe. https://twitter.com/livetennis/status/957584760913780736 https://twitter.com/micohalili/status/957586206174298112 https://twitter.com/Mike_Dickson_DM/status/957583707631767552 https://twitter.com/melindafarrell/status/957584454641270784 https://twitter.com/Harneetsin/status/957585443393974272
