Roger Federer has dismissed his chances of claiming the outright record for grand slam singles titles and insisted he would be happy to stick at 20. The 36-year-old moved four clear of Rafael Nadal in the overall men's standings with a 6-2, 6-7 (5/7), 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 victory over Marin Cilic in the Australian Open final on Sunday. That took him to fourth on the all-time list behind Margaret Court, Serena Williams and Steffi Graf, who have 24, 23 and 22 respectively.
