Australian Open 2009 Third Round Results: Roger Federer Moves into Fourth Round with Win Over Marat Safin

Roger Federer continued his push for a fourth Australian Open title and his quest to tie Pete Sampras for most Grand Slam singles titles, knocking off Marat Safin in straight sets 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (7-5) to advance to the fourth round in Melbourne.

Federer had a strong command of his serve, never allowing Safin a break point opportunity while he managed to break the Russian on three of his four chances. Federer collected winners on 85 percent of his first serve offerings.

With his title at the U.S. Open in 2008 Federer now has 13 Grand Slam singles titles, one shy of the record 14 Grand Slam singles titles held by Pete Sampras. Federer has won the Australian Open three times (most recently in 2007), Wimbledon five times and the U.S. Open five times.
