Roger Federer's five consecutive US Open titles

With five titles and 89 victories, Roger Federer is one of the most accomplished players in the US Open history, earning 40 straight wins between 2004-2009.

The US Open Tennis Championships Youtube channel released a video that serves as a memory lane towards Roger's five New York triumphs, starting from the victory over Albert Costa in the opening round of the 2004 campaign. The Swiss needed three hours to oust Andre Agassi in five sets in the quarters before more comfortable wins against Tim Henman and Lleyton Hewitt for the first US Open crown.
