Federer had been up a break in that set, but in what seemed like a split second, he became unraveled. Federer's serve had no bite and his legs looked weary. And as he left the court for a bathroom break, it appeared he was in real trouble. Then in the opening game of the deciding set, Federer faced two break points. From bad to worse, right? EDITOR'S PICKS Roger that! Federer wins Aussie for 20th Slam Roger Federer won his 20th Grand Slam singles title on Sunday, defeating Marin Cilic in a tense, back-and-forth Australian Open final 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. By the numbers: Federer holds 10 percent of men's major titles with Aussie Open win From becoming the first man to join the 20-majors club to becoming the second-oldest man to win a Grand Slam title, here are some of the numbers from Roger Federer's Australian Open win. Not quite. The next 30 minutes were a whirlwind as Cilic blinked and Federer again started playing like the favorite. A few games later, Federer stood at the winner's podium, celebrating with his latest trophy as tears streamed down his face. The final score was 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. The win gave Federer his sixth title in Australia and 20th Grand Slam overall. Hard to believe, but he's now won three of the past five majors. So how did he do it? "The problem in the fourth set was that my mind was all over the place," Federer told Australia's Seven Network. "I was so close and I was telling myself, 'Don't mess it up,' and then that's exactly what I did. I got a bit lucky at the beginning of the fifth set. I personally don't think I would have come back if he'd broken me first." But the truth is Federer has played as well as anyone during crunch time. He has now won 20 of his 30 matches that have gone five sets, including five of his past six. In the final set Sunday, Federer played brilliantly, which was somewhat surprising given how badly he looked in the fourth. He made just five unforced errors, compared to 35 across the previous four sets. Cilic, who looked sharp at that point, committed 16 unforced errors in the final frame. On the sideline in the waning moments, Federer's coaching team of Ivan Ljubicic and Severin Luthi seemed calm, although Luthi later said he was concerned.
