2007 Australian Open – Men's Singles

First-seeded Roger Federer successfully defended his title, defeating Fernando González in the final 7–6(7–2), 6–4, 6–4, to win the Men's Singles tennis title at the 2007 Australian Open. Federer became the first man since Björn Borg in 1980 to win a Grand Slam tournament without dropping a set[1][2] – he was the first to do so in a Grand Slam played on hard courts. Also, Federer reached a record-equalling 7th consecutive Grand Slam final appearance (streak started at the 2005 Wimbledon Championships), after Jack Crawford during the 1930s, and became the first man to reach 11 consecutive Grand Slam semifinals (streak started at the 2004 Wimbledon Championships).
