Take a journey through Roger Federer’s storied career by diving into his tournament adventures from 2013 to 2022. We’ve got a look at where he played, where he triumphed, and some memorable moments along the way.
In 2022, Federer took to social media to reveal that the Laver Cup in London would mark the end of his ATP career. The event was abuzz with anticipation, with Federer teaming up with Rafael Nadal for Team Europe. Their doubles match against Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe, though hard-fought, ended in a narrow defeat, but the highlight was seeing Federer close his career in a celebration of sportsmanship and camaraderie.
The year before, in 2021, Federer returned to the court after an injury. His standout moments came at the Qatar Open and Wimbledon, where he showcased his enduring talent by reaching the quarterfinals.
2020 was quite a challenging year, marred by cancellations and injuries. Federer’s sole tournament appearance was at the Australian Open, where he made it to the semifinals before being overpowered by Novak Djokovic.
In 2019, despite not capturing a grand slam, Federer added four singles titles to his name in Dubai, Miami, Halle, and Basel. The victory in Basel was notably sentimental as it became the final ATP title of his incredible tenure.
Starting strong in 2018, Roger Federer snatched victories in his first three tournaments, including a grand slam win at the Australian Open. Although some later performances didn’t quite hit the same heights, he still managed wins in Stuttgart and Basel.
2017 marked a return to Federer’s grand slam winning ways, as he clinched the Australian Open and Wimbledon titles. He dazzled with a sweep through the Sunshine Double, winning the Indian Wells and Miami Masters back-to-back.
Injuries truncated his 2016 season, limiting Federer to just seven tournaments. After a Wimbledon semifinal loss, he stepped back until the following year.
Jump to 2015, where Federer was a force with six singles titles across various prestigious events, though grand slam finals eluded him, this time falling to Djokovic at both Wimbledon and the US Open.
The year 2014 saw Federer secure five tournament wins, with an impressive display at the Davis Cup as he helped Switzerland triumph over France. His skill was evident in his consistent performance across the calendar.
2013 might not have been Federer’s finest hour, but he still captured a title at the Halle Open and reached the finals at Rome Masters and Basel Indoors, showing his grit and determination against stiff competition, including Rafael Nadal who often turned out to be his stumbling block that year.
Federer’s journey through these years is a testament to his enduring presence in the world of tennis, defined not just by victories, but by his resilience and sportsmanship.
