Yes, it was a disappointing end to the 2017 season for Roger Federer, who Saturday fell to David Goffin in three sets at the ATP World Tour Finals.
But as he said in his news conference, it was a small setback in an otherwise terrific season, especially when you consider the way his past few years had gone.
Most notably, Federer snared two more Grand Slam titles, bringing his total to 19. So with that, we give you a look at the top 19 things Federer accomplished in 2017, courtesy the ATP Tour and the ESPN Stats & Information team:
1. Passed Roy Emerson by winning multiple majors in the same season for the sixth time.
2. One of three men in the Open era age 30 or older to win multiple majors in the same year (1969 Rod Laver and 2017 Rafael Nadal).
3. Became the oldest player to finish in top two of the ATP Rankings since its inception in 1973.
4. Won seven titles, his most since capturing eight in 2007.
5. Went 7-1 in finals after going only 12-13 from 2013-2016.
