The Swiss Roger Federer was only two points behind the loss but went to the knockout stages of the Australian Open with a win over local John Millman (6-4, 6-7, 4-6, 6-4, 6 -7).

The continuity of the Swiss in the tournament hung by a thread during the five sets that made up the most vibrant match to date in Melbourne Park.

However, the tennis player with the most Grand Slam titles in history (20) did not let this time the local Millman gave him a sentence in a 'major' competition after the Australian became his executioner in the 2018 US Open.

The tennis player of Basel reached with the victory over the Australian his victory number one hundred in Melbourne Park, figure that premiered with his victory over the American and world number one Michael Chang in the first round of the 2000 edition.

Regarding his next crossing, the Swiss won the two times he faced Hungarian Marton Fucsovics: the first one in Australia in 2018 and the most recent in Dubai in 2019.
