He surpassed Williams’ 316 for an all-time record 317 Grand Slam singles match wins.

Last September, Williams had beaten Federer’s record of most Grand Slam matches with her 308th win in the Open era. When asked last year who she thinks would end up with the most wins between the two, she had replied, “I don’t know. Hopefully we’ll both keep going. I know I plan on it. I know he does. So we’ll see.”
