List of all grand slams won by Roger Federer

Swiss Tennis legend Roger Federer has finally called time on his career. The modern-day master of world sport went on to win almost everything under the sun and went on to scale new heights when it came to winning the Grand Slams. Be it the French Open, Wimbledon, US Open, or Australian Open, his reign was everywhere. As he hangs up his boots in next week’s Laver Cup, we take a look at the number of titles he won in his entire career. Be patient, the list is long.


Wimbledon 2003


It was the beginning of Federer and the world would take note in the years to come. He beat America’s Andy Roddick in the semi-finals to march into the summit clash against Australia’s Mark Philippoussis. Tucking in those flowing locks of hair neatly behind his ears, Federer established his dominance over the Aussie in 7-6(5), 6-2, 7-6(3)  to claim his first-ever Grand Slam title.


Australian Open 2004


Within a year, Federer was now doing all his winning on a different continent. But the challenge was surely not easy as he came face to face with Marat Safin who offered firm resistance to Federer’s attempt to win his first Major hardcourt title. Nonetheless, he prevailed with a scoreline of 7-6(3), 6-4, 6-2.


Wimbledon 2004


Federer had to stave off some challenge against his now nemesis Roddick who was desperate to exact revenge for his semi-final loss at this very venue. Nevertheless, he ran into a 22-year-old who was quickly getting into his peak years. And yes, he was beaten 4-6, 7-5, 7-6(3), 6-4 to lift his third Grand Slam crown.


US Open 2004


This was his third Grand Slam within a year and the world now started to take note of this new kid on the block. The 22-year-old arrived in the US and quickly reached the finals of the tournament where he beat Lleyton Hewitt in a surprisingly one-sided final where the scorecard read 6-0, 7-6, 6-0. By this time, Federer had also achieved the number one rankings, a position he would keep for some years to come.


Wimbledon 2005


Federer was back in London looking to complete the hattrick of Wimbledon wins, but it was that man Andy Roddick who was again staring from the other end of the cross. Nonetheless, his bid to thwart Federer went begging as he was defeated 6-2, 7-6(2), 6-4 in the final.


US Open 2005


This time Federer, who was now 24 years old, was up against one of the legends Andre Agassi who also had all the home support. At 35, he was the favorite, but that night at the Flushing Meadows he lost the youngster 6-3, 2-6, 7-6, 6-1 win with the game turning out to be the last Major final for the American.


Australian Open 2006


2006 turned out to be a year of dreams for the Swiss legend. Federer reached the final of all 4 Grand Slams that year, a feat last accomplished by Australian legend Rod Laver in 1969. At the beginning of the year, he was faced with Marcos Baghdatis in the final of the Australian Open, who he overcame in a 5-7, 7-5, 6-0, 6-2 battle.


Wimbledon 2006


Nadal vs Federer will go down as the biggest rivalry in tennis, but it all began in the French Open this same year where King of Clay beat Federer. Nevertheless, Federer shows who is the King of Grass as he overcame the Spaniard 6-0, 7-6(5), 6-7(2), 6-3.


US Open 2006


Next in line was the US Open, and facing him on the opposite side of the net was a very familiar opponent, Andy Roddick. The American great seemed determined to defeat the Swiss, who was in his fourth Grand Slam final of the year. However, Federer couldn’t be tamed and eventually overcame Roddick 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1.


Australian Open 2007


The year began on a brilliant note as he he won the Australian Open without dropping a set - becoming the first player since Bjorn Borg to do that. Federer defeated Fernando Gonzalez easily in the final, with the score 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-4.


Wimbledon 2007


This was the first time fans realized that Federer’s dominance will not go unchallenged. In a match worthy of a final, he was up against Nadal who made his work tirelessly to lift the Wimbledon trophy which he did eventually, beating the Spaniard 7-6(7), 4-6, 7-6(3), 2-6, 6-2.


US Open 2007


It was in 2007 that the new crop of players came out to show their mettle. Novak Djokovic, a then unfamiliar face in the circuit, turned up in the Flushing Meadow final in 2007. But facing the Serb was the 11-time Grand Slam champion Federer. The Swiss legend overcame the hurdle posed by the young Djokovic in straight sets, winning 7-6, 7-6, 6-4.


US Open 2008


2008 didn’t turn out to be a spectacular year for Federer as he suffered defeats at the hands of Nadal in two Grand Slam finals, including Wimbledon. The crushing defeat at Big W brought an end to his five-year winning streak at the All England Club. Although his health was compromised due to bouts of glandular fever, Federer managed to win his 13th Grand Slam title at the US Open over Andy Murray 6-2, 7-5, 6-2.


French Open 2009


2009 became another memorable year in the Federer career when he managed to lay his hands on the French Open trophy which had eluded him for so long. The tears that streamed down his face when he hit the winning shot was priceless. Robin Soderling, who had slayed Nadal en route to the final, was humbled by the Swiss great 6-1, 7-6(1), 6-4!


Wimbledon 2009


The 2009 Wimbledon final proved to be the best that Federer had played against Roddick, and one of the best matches of all time. Federer was seeking to re-establish his dominance on the grass courts of the All England Club. But what ensued was a battle worth remembering as he and Roddick really dug deep in their attempt to lay claim to the title. It was Federer who eventually won after a hard-fought 5-7, 7-6(6), 7-6(5), 3-6, 16-14 match.


Australian Open 2010

Wimbledon 2012

Australian Open 2017
