User:Bluedogtn/Roger Federer in 2005

Roger Federer made two slam finals in 2005, which he won both at the Wimbledon Championships over Andy Roddick in 6–2, 7–6(2), 6–4 and the US Open defeated Andre Agassi in his last slam final with a score of 6–3, 2–6, 7–6(1), 6–1. Conversely, Federer failed to make the final, losing in the Semi-finals in the Australian Open and French Open. However, Federer would take four ATP Masters Series 1000 wins, which those came at Indian Wells, Miami, and Cincinnati on hard court surfaces and one lone clay court at Hamburg. Furthermore, Federer won two ATP 500 series events at Rotterdam and Dubai. Federer would go onto lose the Year-End Championships to David Nalbandian in the final.

Year synopses[edit]

At the start of the year, Federer hired former Australian player Tony Roche to coach him on a limited basis.^[1] He reached the Australian Open semi-finals before falling to eventual winner Safin 5–7, 6–4, 5–7, 7–6(6), 9–7.^[2] He rebounded to win the year's first two ATP Masters Series titles: Indian Wells defeating Lleyton Hewitt of Australia in straight sets and Key Biscayne, defeating Nadal in five sets, 2–6, 6–7(4), 7–6(5), 6–3, 6–1 after being down two sets to love, and two points from defeat. He won his third Hamburg clay court title in May by defeating Richard Gasquet, to whom he had earlier lost in the quarter-finals of Monte Carlo. He then entered the French Open as one of the favorites, but lost a four set semi-final to then number 4 seed and eventual winner Nadal.

Federer successfully defended his Wimbledon title, winning for the third consecutive year by defeating Roddick in a rematch of the previous year's final, this time winning in straight sets. Federer also defeated Roddick in the final of the Cincinnati Masters to take his fourth Masters Series title of the year (and sweep all the North American Masters events) and became the first player to win four Masters Series titles in one season.^[3] He then dropped only two sets en route to his second consecutive US Open title, defeating Andre Agassi in four sets in the final. Federer became the first man in the open era to win Wimbledon and the US Open back-to-back in consecutive years (2004 and 2005). Federer however, failed to defend his year end Masters Cup title, losing to David Nalbandian of Argentina in a four-and-a-half hour, five-set match.^[4] Had he won the match, Federer would have tied John McEnroe's 1984 record for the highest yearly winning percentage in the open era (82–3), as well as winning a streak of 25 consecutive finals.
