Year summary
The season was statistically one of the most dominant in the Open Era. He won 11 singles titles which tied his 2004 season as the most in over two decades, his 81 match victories were the most since Pete Sampras in 1993, and his record of 81–4 (95.2%) remains the third best winning percentage in the Open Era behind only John McEnroe in 1984 and Jimmy Connors in 1974.
Early hard court season
At the start of the year, Federer hired former Australian player Tony Roche to coach him on a limited basis.[1] Federer began the year with a debut appearance at the Qatar Open where he defeated Croatian Ivan Ljubičić in the final. Federer dominated the field and for the first time in his career won a tournament without ever dropping his serve.
Federer entered the first Grand Slam of the year on a 21-match winning streak that stretched over a five-month period. Federer swept through the first five rounds of the Australian Open without dropping a set, including a quarterfinal straight set win over Andre Agassi. He reached the semifinals in a repeat of the previous year's final, before falling to eventual winner Marat Safin, 7–5, 4–6, 7–5, 6–7(6), 7–9.[2] Federer had held a match point at 6–5 in the fourth-set tiebreaker and rushed the net, however Safin responded with a lob; Federer rushed back to retrieve the ball and hit an aggressive between-the-legs trick shot which failed to clear the net. Safin went on to win the tiebreaker and the 80-minute fifth set.
Federer pulled out of the first round of Davis Cup for the first time in his career and would not participate again in the World Group until 2012. Federer next entered the Rotterdam Open seeking his first title in the Netherlands after making the final in 2001. In the second round he played Swiss compatriot and future Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka, easily defeating the teenager in straight sets. In the final he again played Ljubicic, who pushed Federer to the limit, with the Swiss prevailing in a final-set tiebreaker.
Federer next flew to the Middle East, where he was the two-time defending champion at the prestigious
Federer continued to dominate with the commencement of the Masters series. Federer flew from one desert to another and arrived at the
Federer next arrived in the luxury island resort of Key Biscayne seeking his first victory at the Miami Open. Federer reached the finals beating top ten players Tim Henman and Andre Agassi along the way. In the championship match Federer met the player who had knocked him out of Miami the previous year, an 18-year-old Spaniard named Rafael Nadal. Nadal showed why he would become Federer's top rival over the next decade by sweeping the opening two sets. Federer responded by winning a third-set tiebreaker and going on to win the championship in a five set epic 2–6, 6–7(4), 7–6(5), 6–3, 6–1, after being down two sets to love, and two points from defeat. The victory made Federer only sixth man to complete the Indian Wells/Miami "double" and the first since Agassi in 2001. With this victory Federer had won 8 of the last 10 Masters tournaments he had entered.
Federer compiled an astounding 27–1 record in the early hard court season with 5 titles.
Clay court season
Federer next transitioned to the clay courts of the Monte-Carlo Masters, entering the tournament for the first time since 2002. His 25-match winning streak was halted in the quarterfinals by 18 year old Frenchman Richard Gasquet who survived three match points and a final-set tiebreaker to defeat the world number one.

After his victory in Germany Federer flew to
Federer, for the first time, entered the French Open with a chance to become only the sixth man to win the Career Grand Slam. He flew through the first five rounds without the loss of a set to reach his first semifinal in Paris. There he met Rafael Nadal who had dominated the clay courts in 2005 with titles in Costa do Sauípe, Acapulco, Monte-Carlo, Barcelona, and Rome. The match did not start until 6:20 pm local time. They split the first two sets with Nadal breaking in the last game of the third set to seize the two sets to one lead. Due to the late start time darkness began to fall in the fourth set and Federer requested for the match to be suspended until the next day. They played on in the near darkness, however, and Nadal broke in the eighth game of the set and served out the match. One positive Federer took from the match was that he now believed he had the game to someday win the clay Grand Slam. Additionally the crowds in Paris had taken a great liking to Federer's stylish and flamboyant style of play giving him enormous support and encouragement throughout the tournament; none more so than against Nadal, who the Parisian crowds had nicknamed "l'Ogre" for what they deemed to be his ugly and unstylish grinding manner of play.[3][4]
Grass court season
Federer began the grass swing with his usual warm-up tournament in
Federer entered Wimbledon as the overwhelming favorite with a 29-match winning streak on grass which spanned back to 2003. Federer glided into the semifinals where he faced world number 2 and former Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt. Although they were the top two players in the world, the special grass seedings of Wimbledon elevated Andy Roddick as the second seed over Hewitt. This created the strange and rare circumstance of the world's top 2 players meeting before a tournament final. Federer defeated Hewitt in straight sets and advanced to the final where Andy Roddick awaited a rematch of the previous year's final. For a third consecutive year Federer defeated Roddick at the All-England Club and notched his third consecutive Wimbledon crown with a clear 6–2, 7–6(2), 6–4 victory. This marked Federer's fifth Grand Slam championship and remarkably his first of the season. He also became only the third man in the Open Era to win three consecutive Wimbledon Championships along with Björn Borg (1976–78) and Pete Sampras (1993–95 and 1997–99).
Summer hard court season
Upon doctors orders Federer was forced to skip the Canadian Open because of lingering foot issues, instead focusing on recovery for the American hard court summer.
After a six-week hiatus Federer returned to the
Federer arrived in New York and once again found himself in another Grand Slam semifinal. By making the semifinals of all four Grand Slams that year he became only the fourth man to accomplish the feat in the Open Era along with
Fall indoor season
Federer immediately flew back to Geneva in order to play the Davis Cup playoffs and keep Switzerland in the World Group. Switzerland easily crushed Great Britain to remain in the World Group for the twelfth consecutive year.
Federer then traveled to Bangkok for the
While training in Switzerland in preparation for his home tournament the Swiss Indoors Basel among others, Federer once again suffered a significant injury which hampered his fall season. During a training session he severely injured his ankle, falling to the ground and needing to be helped off the court. He was diagnosed with torn ligaments in his ankle, which forced him to withdraw from Madrid, Basel, and Paris. This injury would prove to be the most significant injury of his young career, and his status for the remainder of the year was doubtful.[7]
Federer was in a cast and crutches for several weeks and underwent an ultrasound and lymph drainage in order to be fit to compete for the
