Federer has also come under the list of the only player after Jimmy Connors who achieves and have won 100 career singles titles or more in the Open Era.

Top seed Roger Federer and seventh seed John Isner face off for the first time in four years in Sunday's final at the Miami Open. Federer leads their FedEx ATP Head2Head series 5-2, but given the trajectory of their careers since their last battle at the 2015 Rolex Paris Masters, won by Isner in a third-set tie-break, they will arrive on Stadium Court with a clean slate.

There will be no secrets behind it when Federer and Isner meet. It's one of the best serves of all time against one of the best returns of all time. Almost all of their matches have been highly competitive affairs and Sunday's clash should be no exception.

"He's definitely got one of the serves that you basically can't read. It's that simple," said Federer. "You just hope that the stars align, that you pick the right side, he picks the wrong side, maybe he misses a serve, that you can put him in uncomfortable situations time and time again, and at the end somehow find a way."
