Roger Federer became only the second man to win 100 tour-level singles titles as he triumphed 6-4 6-4 over Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Dubai Tennis Championships on Saturday.

The 20-time grand slam champion has become one of sport's true greats since his first triumph in 2001 and will now have Jimmy Connors' record of 109 in his sights.

And as Federer celebrates his latest landmark victory, we take the opportunity to run through some of the key statistics behind his century of wins, courtesy of Opta.
