Roger Federer has some of the most astonishing records to his name. Apart from winning 20 Majors, Federer’s two unbelievable streaks exhibit how dominant he was in his heydays.

Recently, an analyst named Joseph Pompliano asked American tennis player Mardy Fish a question on Twitter about the most unbelievable sports statistic he has ever heard.

In his reply, Fish mentioned Federer reaching 23 consecutive semifinals and 33 consecutive quarterfinals at Grand Slam events as the most incredible stat ever.

However, the former World No.7 got one statistic wrong. The 20-time Major champion has actually reached 36 consecutive quarterfinals at Grand Slam tournaments and not just 33.

“Federer 33 straight Q/Finals. Federer 23 straight S/Finals in Grand Slams,” wrote Fish in his reply.
