Federer's win against Marton Fucsovics in the fourth round was only the second time he faced a Hungarian player in 72 main draw appearances at a major. Interestingly, Federer's first match against a Hungarian player was against Attila Savolt at the 2002 Australian Open. Savolt is now serving as Fucsovics' coach.

Years since the last time any man as old as Federer reached the quarters at any Slam. Before Federer, Jimmy Connors, aged 38, reached the last eight of the US Open in 1991, where he defeated Paul Haarhuis.
