Roger Federer became the first active ATP player to play in 900 tour-level matches on Thursday. The top-seeded, 16-time Grand Slam champion defeated American Taylor Dent, 6-1, 6-2, in just 50 minutes at the Stockholm Open in Sweden, logging his 727th ATP Tour victory in 900 total matches.
What's even more impressive, the 29-year-old has never retired in any of the 900 matches, according to ATPWorldTour.com.
And it's not the first milestone Federer has reached in Stockholm. His 100th career tour-level contest came the last time he played there in the 2000 season, ATP World Tour stat guru Greg Sharko told FanHouse on Thursday.
In Federer's 200th and 500th tour-level matches, he played American Andre Agassi, who Federer currently trails in tour-level wins by 143. Agassi, a career Grand Slam titlist like Federer, amassed 870 victories in his career.
