Suggestions for minor changes to the introduction

I would like to propose two minor edits to this paragraph

Federer has appeared in 26 men's singles Grand Slam finals, with 10 in a row, both records, and appeared in 18 of 19 finals from the 2005 Wimbledon Championships through to the 2010 Australian Open. He is the only man to reach at least the semifinals of 23 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments, from the 2004 Wimbledon Championships through the 2010 Australian Open.[19] At the 2014 Wimbledon Championships, he played in a record 59th consecutive Grand Slam tournament, reached a record 42nd Grand Slam quarter-final (surpassed Connors' record of 41), a record 35th Grand Slam semi-final and a record 25th Grand Slam final. Earlier at the 2013 French Open, Federer reached a record 36th consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final. He has also won the most matches, 274, in men's Grand Slam tournaments and is the only player to record 60+ wins each at all the Grand Slam tournaments.

1. I would change "(surpassed Connors'..." to "(surpassing Connors'...".

2. I would change "is the only player to record 60+ wins each at all the Grand Slam tournaments." to "is the only player to record 60+ wins at each Grand Slam tournament.

If people with authorization to make changes to the page agrees with these suggestions, please implement them for me.

Lack of info from 2014

2014 lacks information on his runs at the French Open (lost to Gulbis in the fourth round), US Open (lost to eventual champion Cilic in the semis after coming from two sets down against Monfils and saving match points for the first time in a grand slam), ATP tour finals (reached the final saving match points against Wawrinka before withdrawing with a back injury), and the Davis Cup final (part of the winning Swiss side and won the decisive fourth rubber over Gasquet). This lack of info looks amateurish for such an established player.

Rivalry with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

I think we could add Tsonga to Federer's main rivalries. They faced in one Grand Slam semifinal, four Grand Slam quarterfinals, one World Tour Finals final, two Masters 1000 finals. Federer leads 11-5 overall and 4-2 in Grand Slam events.

Military service

Surely the statement that "2003 he was deemed unfit because of a long-standing back problem and was subsequently not required to fulfill his military obligation. Luckily, he managed to overcome this ailment enough to win Wimbledon later that year" is a joke? He cannot have been unfit for military service if he was competing in professional tennis.101.98.74.13 (talk) 08:05, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
