Australian Open 2006

Federer receives the trophy from Australian legend Rod Laver.

This was Federer's third straight Grand Slam title after winning Wimbledon and the US Open last year. He became the first man since Pete Sampras in 1993-94 to win three consecutive Grand Slams.

If he wins the French Open final in June, he will become the first man since Australian Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four Grand Slam titles.
