Ranking Roger Federer's 18 Grand Slam wins

Sport Desk: You pick the storyline you like best. A 35-year-old becomes the oldest man in 42 years to win a Grand Slam.

A 35-year-old who hadn't won a Grand Slam in nearly five years hoisted a trophy at the year's first major.

The 35-year-old was playing in his first tournament in six months after being out with an injury. He won it by defeating three of the best players in the world, each in a five-set classic.

And, oh yeah, he had to beat Nadal in the final, coming back to win a classic fifth set that could very well end up being the decisive battle in the never-ending debate about the greatest tennis player of all time.

It might be Federer's last (though I suspect he'll get to No. 19 by the time it's all said and done). It's certainly his greatest.
