Roger Federer has won four Australian Open titles so far. He lifted the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup in 2004, 2006, 2007, 2010, tying him with Andre Agassi as the winner of most Men's Singles titles. Federer has been runner-up once in 2008, where he was beaten by Rafael Nadal in 5 sets. Most people will probably remember this final because of Roger's tears at the trophy ceremony (I still can't watch the ceremony...emotional ) .

Here's the stats from Federer's wins.

In other Roger-Australian news, Nike have released photos of Roger's outfits for the tournament. Crisp and clean as always. Fed always goes for blue at the Aussie, why mess with tradition?! The red outfit, I think, is for evening matches...but I could be wrong!
