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 1-6 2-6 6-3 3-6. Novak Djokovic went ahead in their rivalry for the first time.
