The 2017 Roger Federer tennis season officially commenced on 2 January 2017 with the start of the 2017 Hopman Cup.

Year summary

Australian Open and early hard court season

Hopman Cup

After returning from the injury, prior to Australian Open, Federer paired with Belinda Bencic to compete in the Hopman Cup. They were knocked out in the round robin stage after winning 2 out of 3 ties.

Australian Open

In his first Grand Slam tournament of the year, Federer progressed all the way to the final, winning over top 10 players Tomáš Berdych, Kei Nishikori, and fellow countryman Stan Wawrinka, facing his archrival Rafael Nadal in the final. Nadal had won in all six matches between the two in Major tournaments since the Wimbledon final of 2007, including all three of their encounters in the Australian Open. Federer ultimately triumphed after being a break down in the fifth set, winning a record-breaking and historic 18th men's singles Grand Slam title and becoming the first man to win at least five singles titles at three different major tournaments each, while denying Nadal's second opportunity to become the first man in the Open Era to win each major in men's singles twice. Federer's campaign winning the Australian Open 2017 title saw three of his matches going to five sets (fourth round against Nishikori, semi-final against Wawrinka, and final against Nadal) and the five-set Slam final was the 7th in Federer's career, which broke the record tie with Björn Borg of a career count of 6 five-set Grand Slam men's singles finals. With the Australian Open 2017 title, Federer's ATP ranking rose from No. 17 to No. 10^[1] and marked his first win over Nadal in a Grand Slam match outside the grass courts of Wimbledon.
