The 2016 Roger Federer tennis season officially commenced on 3 January 2016 with the start of the 2016 Brisbane International.

Year summary

Australian Open and early hard court season

Brisbane International

Federer opened his season at the Brisbane International for the third consecutive year after winning the title in 2015. He received a bye as the top seed in the first round. Though suffering with the flu, in the second round he beat Tobias Kamke in straight sets.[1] He next defeated Grigor Dimitrov in three sets.[2] In the semifinals, he beat Dominic Thiem in straight sets to advance to his third consecutive final at the tournament. He faced Milos Raonic in a repeat of last year's final and lost in straight sets. Due to contracting the flu, Federer's performance was hindered throughout the tournament.[3]

Australian Open

Federer entered the Australian Open as the third seed. He defeated Nikoloz Basilashvili and Alexandr Dolgopolov, both in straight sets to advance to the third round where he beat Grigor Dimitrov in four sets. The win gave Federer his 300th match win at a Grand Slam, becoming the first man in the Open Era to reach the milestone. It also put him second overall behind Martina Navratilova who won 306 matches.[4] He reached the quarterfinals with an easy straights set win over David Goffin in the fourth round. He then defeated Tomáš Berdych in straight sets to advance to his twelfth Australian Open semifinal where he faced Novak Djokovic in their first match of the year and their 45th meeting overall. Federer lost the match in four sets. The loss put Djokovic ahead in their rivalry for the first time.

Knee injury

The day after his loss to Djokovic, Federer sustained a knee injury. In early February he underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus, and missed both the tournaments in Rotterdam and Dubai in February.[5] Later in the month Federer announced he would miss the tournament in Indian Wells.[6] In March, it was confirmed that Federer would make his return at the Miami Open.[7]

Miami Open

Federer withdrew after a first round bye due to contracting a stomach virus, thus prolonging his time on the sidelines.

Spring clay court season and French Open

Monte-Carlo Masters

Federer returned after a ten week hiatus in Monte Carlo. He received a first round bye and won his first match since January by beating Guillermo García-López to advance to the third round. He then beat Roberto Bautista Agut to advance to the quarterfinals where he lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in three sets despite being two points away from the win.

Madrid Open

It was announced that Roger would be returning to Madrid, Spain to compete in the Madrid Open, but he withdrew from the tournament after a first round bye citing back problems.

Italian Open

Upon pulling out of Madrid Federer confirmed that he would participate in the Italian Open.
