Roger Federer supped champagne and partied until dawn in Melbourne on Monday, savouring his first grand slam victory as a father but already looking forward to the defence of his French Open crown. The 28-year-old Swiss defeated Andy Murray in the Australian Open final to extend his record to 16 major titles and dash British hopes of a first men's grand slam champion in 74 years.

The French Open 2009 results for the remainder of the fourth round had number 2 seed Roger Federer getting pushed to five sets by Tommy Haas before coming away with the victory.
