Years from now we will all be grateful for living in the Roger Federer Era.

At this rate, years from now our children will be grateful for living in the Roger Federer Era.

The Swiss maestro continues to add to his already unmatched career totals, having won the Australian Open for his 20th Grand Slam title on Sunday.

The win was an emotional one for Federer, and the 36-year-old was barely able to keep it together after the win.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to Slam No. 20.
