He has 12 titles to his credit and needs only three tiles more to hold the most prestigious record of tennis.

Federer won three titles apiece in the last two years. So, winning three grand slam titles is not new to Federer. In his glorious career, he achieved everything except a French Open titles. So, winning the French Open will be also be something special. What is more, winning all four grand slam tournaments is not something impossible for Roger Federer considering his imprerious form.

Unable to enter his regular tuneup, the Kooyong exhibition tournament, because of a stomach illness, Federer has been easing himself back into shape for his first competitive tennis in two months.

"I definitely think it's going to turn for the good and I'll be 100%, really, before the tournament," Federer said.

His probable semi final opponent would be Novak Dokovic or David Ferrer or David Nalbandian. Now, let us see if Roger Federer can continue his winning run and claim his third successive Australian Open title.
