Roger Federer beats Julien Benneteau at Wimbledon 2012

(June 30, 2012) -- The stats from Julien Benneteau's match against Roger Federer in the third round of Wimbledon, which pushed the world No. 3 to five sets.

6-16: Federer's all-time record in Grand Slam events when trailing two sets to none. He's lost in three sets 12 times when down 0-2.

6-1: Federer's all-time record in Grand Slam events when he loses the first two sets, then wins the next two. His only loss under these conditions came to Rafael Nadal in the 2008 Wimbledon final, 4-6, 4-6, 7-6(5), 7-6(8), 7-9.

May 30, 2004: The last time Federer lost to an opponent ranked outside the Top 20 in a Grand Slam event. The tournament was Roland Garros and the opponent was No. 30 Gustavo Kuerten, who trounced the No.1 Swiss in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the third round.

130: Consecutive opponents Federer has defeated in Grand Slam tournaments ranked outside the Top 20, including No. 29 Bennetau on Friday.

62: Roger Federer's career win tally at Wimbledon, one behind Pete Samrpas for third place in the Open Era.

16-1: Julien Benneteau's career Grand Slam record when leading two sets to none. Before Friday, Benneteau had never lost a Grand Slam match that he led two sets to none in.

9-30: Bennetau's all-time record against Top 10 opponents, a .231 winning percentage.

0.870: Federer's all-time winning percentage in Grand Slam singles with his three wins so far at Wimbledon. He is third all-time behind Bjorn Borg (.898) and Rafael Nadal (.878).

2002: Had Federer lost, it would have been the first time in 10 years that two of the top three seeds in men's singles at Wimbledon lost before the fourth round. In 2002, No. 2 seed Marat Safin was stunned in four sets in the second round by Belgium's Oliver Rochus, while Thailand's Paradorn Srichaphan swept third-seeded Andre Agassi in the same round

Draw: The round of 16 match-ups have been set, with Federer playing Malisse in that top half of the draw, which also has Djokovic.
