Jeremy Chardy joined a select group of players to have defeated Roger Federer after saving a match point on Wednesday when he notched the 1-6, 6-3, 7-6(6) victory over the Swiss maestro.

Per Josh Meiseles (one of our favorite stats gurus and tennis bloggers on Twitter, and a great follow) these are the ten to have previously accomplished the task:

According to Meiseles, Chardy also achieved another obscure milestone with his win. He is only the fourth player to rally for a victory after dropping the first set 1-6 to Federer:

Nadal, Nalbandian, Hrbaty and...Chardy. The only men to rally from a 1-6 deficit to defeat Federer. 5th year in a row with a Top 10 win. — Josh Meiseles (@jmeistennis) May 14, 2014



Before yesterday's shocker against Chardy, Federer was 119-3 in matches where he won the first set with a breadstick or bagel:
