2003

In 2003, Federer challenged for the top ranking in men's tennis. Federer began his Grand Slam campaign at the Australian Open where he lost to David Nalbandian in the round of 16. He then won 2 hard court tournaments in Marseille and Dubai. He also won a clay court tournament in Munich, but at his next Grand Slam tournament, the French Open on clay, he lost in the first round to Luis Horna. However, he won the tournament in Halle on grass, and in July, he won his first Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon, defeating Andy Roddick in the semifinals and Mark Philippoussis in the finals, and losing only one set in the whole tournament (to Mardy Fish in the round of 32). He lost to Roddick and to Nalbandian in the Masters tournaments in Montreal and Cincinnati, respectively. As in the Australian Open, he lost to Nalbandian at the U.S. Open, again in the round of 16. He won on hard courts in Vienna and ended the year on a high note by winning the year end Tennis Masters Cup tournament in Houston, defeating Andre Agassi in the final. In a three-way battle for supremacy, Roddick captured the year-end No. 1 ranking over Federer and Juan Carlos Ferrero.

Federer entered Wimbledon as the top seed and reached the final without dropping a set. There, Federer beat Nadal in four sets to win the championship. This was Federer's fourth consecutive Wimbledon title. Federer then started his North American tour and won the 2006 Rogers Cup in Toronto, defeating Richard Gasquet of France in the final. In the year's last Grand Slam tournament, the 2006 U.S. Open, he defeated American Andy Roddick in four sets for his third consecutive title at the Flushing Meadows. At the year-ending Tennis Masters Cup at Shanghai, Federer defeated defending champion David Nalbandian in one of his three round robin matches and Nadal in a semifinal. Federer then defeated American James Blake 6-0, 6-3, 6-4 in the final to win his third Masters Cup title. In 2006, Federer lost to only two players: Nadal in the French Open final, Rome final, Monte Carlo final, and Dubai final; and Andy Murray in the second round of the Cincinnati Masters. The Cincinnati loss to Murray was Federer's only straight-sets loss of the year and the only tournament out of 17 (Davis Cup excluded) in which he did not reach the final. www.atptennis.com/5/en/players/playerprofiles/playeractivity.asp?prevtrnnum=0&year=2001&query=Singles&selTournament=0&player=F324&x=10&y=9 2001])<ref>{{cite web//www.atptennis.com/5/en/players/playerprofiles/playeractivity.asp?prevtrnnum=0&year=2006&query=Singles&selTournament=0&player=F324&x=5&y=9 2006])<ref>{{cite web www.rogerfederer.com/en/fanzone/askroger/index.cfm?uCategoryID=4 |title= Life as a Junior | accessdate = 2007-06-20 }}</ref> At 14, he became the national champion of all groups in Switzerland and was chosen to train at the Swiss National Tennis Center at Ecublens.

Federer started his clay-court season by reaching his second consecutive final of the Monte Carlo Masters. As in 2006 he lost to second seeded Rafael Nadal. This time the score was 6-4, 6-4.

Despite this, Federer once again beat Rafael Nadal in a memorable final, 7-6, 4-6, 7-6, 2-6, 6-2, winning the tournament for the fifth consecutive time, a feat only before achieved in the Open Era by Björn Borg (William Renshaw holds the all-time record with six consecutive titles from 1881 to 1886). It was the first time since the fourth round in 2001 against Sampras that Federer played a fifth set at Wimbledon and it was his first five-set grand slam final. It was Federer's 11th Grand Slam victory, tying him in third with the greats Björn Borg and Rod Laver in number of men’s Grand Slam singles titles won.

His next tournament was the Madrid Masters where Federer was the defending champion. However, he was unable to successfully defend his title after losing to David Nalbandian in the finals 6-1, 3-6, 3-6 continuing the trend of no player being able to defend their title. The defeat for Federer was his first on an indoor hardcourt since Nalbandian got the better of him in the Masters Cup two years ago.

On October 28 Federer won his home tournament in Basel for the second consecutive year by beating the Finn Jarkko Nieminen in the final 6-3, 6-4. The win guaranteed Federer the year-end No.1 ranking for the fourth consecutive year. It also means that he will complete 200 consecutive weeks at No.1 and makes a target of 208 consecutive weeks (4 years) a strong possibility.

Federer then played the Paris Masters, where nemesis David Nalbandian defeated him again in the third round, 6-4, 7-6(3), to leave their head-to-head record at 8-8. Nalbandian is now among a small group of players who have either a positive or equal win/loss record against Federer.

Federer's round robin group at the Tennis Masters Cup was announced on 7 November 2007 and consisted of Nikolay Davydenko, Fernando González, and Andy Roddick, players who Federer had excellent head-to-head records against. In Federer's opening match, he surprisingly lost to the seventh-ranked González 6-3, 6-7(1), 5-7, marking his first loss against the Chilean as well as his first ever loss in the round-robin stage of the Masters Cup. Federer composed himself to win his second RR match, against Davydenko, 6-4, 6-3; and reached semi-finals by beating Roddick 6-4, 6-2. Federer reached the final after crushing Spanish rival Rafael Nadal 6-4, 6-1, taking just 59 minutes to score his most emphatic win over the world number two to date. Federer then went on to win his fourth Masters Cup title in five years by beating David Ferrer in a lopsided final 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. The number six seed was defeated in just an hour and 38 minutes as Federer sealed a fourth Masters Cup success, adding to victories in 2003, 2004 and 2006. A 53rd career title and eighth of the year, the win put Federer just one behind Pete Sampras and Ivan Lendl who are tied at five Masters Cup victories each.

As he took part in more than 8 Masters Series, including both fall events, Federer collected $1.5 million from the ATP Masters Series bonus pool, which ensured that he would surpass his previous year-end prize money record by taking his season haul to $10,130,620.

Although critics and coaches consider his backhand as his weaker side, it has developed into one of the best in the game. He has an excellent slice which knifes through the court with great pace and throws off opponents, but can also fire great top-spin shots that seem to catch the baseline as if magnetically drawn to it. Federer tends to hit his groundstrokes early, while the ball is still on the rise, much like Andre Agassi did. While this requires excellent reactions and footwork, it means that Federer hits his groundstrokes closer to the net than most of his opponents. This reduces the reaction time of his opponents and allows him to hit the sharply angled winners that are a trademark of his game.<ref name="Wallace"/>//www.tssonnet.com/tss2902/stories/20060114006100800.htm | title = The Genius | accessdate = 2007-06-20 }}</ref> Federer uses fairly conventional grips.

Although critics and coaches consider his backhand as his weaker side, it has developed into one of the best in the game. He has an excellent slice which knifes through the court with great pace and throws off opponents, but can also fire great top-spin shots that seem to catch the baseline as if magnetically drawn to it. Federer tends to hit his groundstrokes early, while the ball is still on the rise, much like Andre Agassi did. While this requires excellent reactions and footwork, it means that Federer hits his groundstrokes closer to the net than most of his opponents. This reduces the reaction time of his opponents and allows him to hit the sharply angled winners that are a trademark of his game.<ref name="Wallace"/>

Federer generally serves with placement and precision, but on occasion he will hit a powerful serve to keep his opponents off balance. His footwork, balance, and court coverage are exceptional and he is considered to be one of the fastest movers in the game. Unlike most players who take many small steps when approaching the ball, like Jimmy Connors, Federer takes long fluid strides. He can hit a strong shot on the run or while backpedaling, allowing him to switch from defense to offense. Federer's relaxed, smooth playing style belies his aggressive and opportunistic tactics as he constructs points that allows him to hit winners with his powerful groundstrokes. Federer is capable of performing in high pressure situations, often saving break, set or match points during crucial times in a match.//www.topix.net/forum/tennis/andy-roddick/TJ8FHK64V5B309G2S|title= Service Speed Comparison:Federer, Roddick, Sampras|accessdate = 2007-05-31 }}</ref> His second serve usually has a heavily kicked delivery.
