There are players who dream of debuting in a Grand Slam tournament at some point in their career. There are others who imagine themselves crossing to a second week of competition after three good victories. Then there are others who work hard to fight for the title in a hypothetical final, even if there is some luck, win it. And after all of them, at the top of the table, appears Roger Federer, a man who can boast of having conquered 20 Grand Slams in his career as a professional. And most importantly, it seems that he still has the rope to capture some more. For now, we review those who already have his name.

1 Wimbledon 2003: The first of all, they always say that it is the most special. The Swiss was just 21 years old but he already knew what it was like to leave Pete Sampras out of the game in the London pasture. His victory against Mark Philippoussis made him kneel for the first time in a great event and inaugurate a list of winners who still do not know the end.

2 Australian Open 2004: After unblocking the British turf in 2003, it was time to confirm this new appearance on the world circuit. In Melbourne Roger would give his second big bite, taking advantage of that pull to play days after the number 1 in the world for the first time in his career.

3 Wimbledon 2004: Return to the green of Wimbledon, your favorite place. If last year he yielded only one set in his conquest, this time it would be two, one with Hewitt in the quarterfinals and another in the seventh match against Roddick. It would not be the last time I would see the American in these sets.

4 US Open 2004: Federer was going to leave the year 2004 in style, signing a triplet in which only Roland Garros would escape. The US Open still did not have his name and that would not be easy, although poor Hewitt would see again in the final how the Basel was still winning whole to be the true leader of this era.

5 Wimbledon 2005: The third consecutive Wimbledon of Federer would come after stumbling in Australia against Safin and in Paris against Nadal. But in London the story was different, where again Roddick would return to dressing as runner-up in the title match.

6 US Open 2005: Of the most important and emotional titles of Roger due to the man he faced in the grand final. No less than Andre Agassi, who could scratch a set in the battle despite having already 35 years. In the end the youth prevailed and Federer would capture his sixth Grand Slam.

7 Open of Australia 2006: A box full of traps of which the Swiss managed to get away to be cited in the final with the great revelation, Marcos Baghdatis. That triumph, not easy to be seen as the favorite of the public, was the seventh title of Roger in many disputed finals. Was he never going to lose a Grand Slam?

8 Wimbledon 2006: But yes, Federer would lose months later at Roland Garros against Nadal, which he would avenge himself in the middle of the London summer to tie his fourth Wimbledon crown in one of his most brilliant tournaments. The grass was still his private garden.

9 US Open 2006: And he was not bad at Flushing Meadows, where he would also chain his sixth consecutive trophy in 2006. In this occasion Roddick changed the grass for the hard track, although the result would be the same again. There was no possible formula to defeat his black beast.

10 Australian Open 2007: For the first time in his career, the Swiss would win a Grand Slam without leaving a single set on the road. Fifteen dream days finished off against a Fernando González who paid the hazing in what would be his first and only Grand Slam final.

11 Wimbledon 2007: One more year, Federer would fall in the final of Roland Garros against Rafa Nadal and one more year, the Swiss would return the coin to him when shooting in the grass of London. This time it would not be a walk, as the Spanish forced him to a fifth set that already pointed to a change in the next cycle.

12 US Open 2007: Less headaches would be given in New York, as Novak Djokovic would put all his efforts in a final that would end up taking the Basel and add a new big in his suitcase.

13 US Open 2008: Hard times began to arrive at the sunny terrace of a Federer who came to the Big Apple after losing his winning streak at Wimbledon and completing a year without lifting a Grand Slam. We would see him smile again after bowing to Murray, but the best was yet to come the following year.

14 Roland Garros 2009: Another direct blow to the jaw of the Swiss with a new epic victory of Nadal in Australia. The change of reign seemed definite, until Robin Soderling decided to take action on the matter. Then Federer saw the hole in Roland Garros and put the direct to achieve an epic: champion in the big four and equal the mark of Pete Sampras in the historic archive.

15 Wimbledon 2009: After losing their place at Wimbledon a year ago, it was time to put things back in place. Federer came to think that he would never place himself ahead of Pete Sampras' 14 Grand Slams, but it was going to be the place in London to beat him. Poor Roddick would be the one who paid the most expensive entrance.

16 Australian Open 2010: But it was not enough to surpass the widest mark in history, you had to put distance. So Roger arrived in Australia to sign his fourth conquest three years after the last one. The legend of the Swiss seemed unattainable, although it would be precisely at that moment where a somewhat more regular time would begin in tournaments of this category.

17 Wimbledon 2012: It was a very special tournament for the time elapsed since his last Grand Slam (more than two years) and the impotence of seeing how the Djokovic and Nadal were already fighting for the first position of ranking, leaving him in a second plane. But Murray was still able to control him, so he was the one he defeated to tie up his seventh Wimbledon and regain the highest position in the ranking.

18 Australian Open 2017: Five years passed since that Wimbledon 2012, five long and heavy years that urged Federer to reflect on his chances when winning a Grand Slam. To the doubts they were united, for the first time, the injuries. Six months he was out before coming back to Australia, first stop on the official calendar. And to top it off, Nadal waited in the final. But nothing happened as expected. As he called it: a beautiful fairy tale.

19 Wimbledon 2017: Roger had expected so much to win another Grand Slam that he took the taste to be the winner of these procedures. He did not settle for a title, so Wimbledon was a favorite and that's how he came out, with his eighth crown and without giving up a single set. The legend of the Swiss was beginning to run out of adjective to do him justice.

20 Open of Australia 2018: We closed this serial here with the title of Grand Slam number 20, the harvested just a few hours ago. He fought until the end Marin Cilic, but the secret of eternal youth and permanent passion did not let the Swiss let escape this occasion. Twelve months ago nobody would have bet to see that 17 move from his locker. Today there are already 20 ... and it looks like we still have one left to witness.
