This was Federer's 70th appearance at a Grand Slam, tying the record for male players and a record - breaking 11th men's singles final at the same Grand Slam tournament . In addition, by virtue of his third - round win over Mischa Zverev, Federer won his 317th Grand Slam singles match, surpassing Serena Williams' record of 316 match wins and giving him the all - time record for the most Grand Slam singles wins by any player, male or female .
