Roger Federer's 2015 tennis season began on 4 January 2015 at the2015 Brisbane International. Federer added a new tactic nicknamed the SABR ("Sneak Attack by Roger") to his strategy. Likethe prior season, he reached 11 finals. Highlights from this season include winning his 1000th career match inBrisbane, surpassing 9000 aces inDubai, winning his first red clay court title in almost 6 years at theIstanbul Open, and twomajor runner-up finishes at bothWimbledon and theUS Open. Despite the success, Federer dropped a rank to No. 3, ending the year with 6 titles.

Federer opened his season for the second consecutive year inBrisbane after reaching the final in 2014. He defeatedJohn Millman from a set and 1–3 down in his first match. He dropped only one game in a 39-minute victory overJames Duckworth, before defeatingGrigor Dimitrov in the semifinals in under an hour to set up a final againstMilos Raonic. He recorded 1000 match win during the tournament.

Federer entered the first Grand Slam of the year as the second seed. He opened his campaign for his fifth crown at Melbourne Park with wins againstYen-Hsun Lu andSimone Bolelli but was upset in the third round byAndreas Seppi in four sets, his first ever loss against the Italian. This ended his record of reaching at the least the semi-finals of the Australian Open for eleven consecutive years.^[1]

Federer opened his campaign for the seventh Dubai crown with a straight sets victory overMikhail Youzhny of Russia and then defeated SpaniardFernando Verdasco, winning in straight sets after a three-game deficit in the first set. Federer passed through the quarterfinals and semifinals with relative ease, dropping only four games againstRichard Gasquet andBorna Ćorić. In the final, Federer defeated world No. 1Novak Djokovic in two sets. Federer elevated his head-to-head record against Djokovic to 20–17 overall, and 15–13 on hard courts with the straight sets victory. The victory gave Federer a record 7th Dubai crown. He also finished the tournament without dropping a set. During the final match, Federer hit 12 aces and surpassed the 9,000 aces mark in his career total, joiningGoran Ivanišević,Ivo Karlović andAndy Roddick as the only players to achieve the mark since aces totals were recorded.

As the No. 2 seed, Federer started his quest for a fifth title at theBNP Paribas Open with a victory over ArgentinianDiego Schwartzman and avenged his earliest Australian Open defeat against ItalianAndreas Seppi by beating him in windy conditions before claiming his 50th milestone win at the event by defeating AmericanJack Sock in straight sets. He then breezed pastTomáš Berdych in the quarterfinals. He extended his winning streak to 10 matches after battling hard in the semifinals againstMilos Raonic and defeated him in straight sets to reach a sixth final in the desert. He lost toNovak Djokovic in the final in three sets.

Federer began his clay season at theMonte-Carlo Masters. He opened up againstJérémy Chardy who had beaten him on clay last year inRome. However this time Federer beat him in straight sets. He then playedGaël Monfils in the third round and lost in straight sets.

Federer next played at the inauguralIstanbul Open. In his opening match he beatJarkko Nieminen in straight sets, improving his record against Nieminen to 15–0. The win also gave Federer his 200th clay court win. He then defeatedDaniel Gimeno-Traver in the quarterfinals in three sets. In the semifinals, he won in three sets again againstDiego Schwartzman to advance to the final, continuing his streak of making at least one clay final a season since 2001. He defeatedPablo Cuevas in the final to claim his 85th career title. It was his first title on clay since he won the2012 Mutua Madrid Open on blue clay and his first on red clay since he won the2009 French Open.

Federer next played at theMutua Madrid Open as the top seed. He lost his opening match toNick Kyrgios in three tiebreak sets, despite being up a set and a break and squandering two match points.

Federer won his second and third round matches againstPablo Cuevas andKevin Anderson in straight sets. He cruised throughTomáš Berdych in the quarterfinals andStan Wawrinka in the semifinals, winning both matches in straight sets after being down a break in the first set. He lost toNovak Djokovic in the final in straight sets.

Federer entered theFrench Open as the second seed. He beat lucky loserAlejandro Falla in the first round andMarcel Granollers in the second round, before reaching the round of 16 by defeatingDamir Dzumhur in straight sets. He next played againstGaël Monfils but the match was interrupted due to darkness, after they split the first two sets. The match continued the next day, with Federer prevailing in four sets. He advanced to his 44th major quarterfinal and 11th at Roland Garros, where he lost in straight sets to his compatriot and eventual championStan Wawrinka in straight sets.

Due to the tournament being upgraded to a 500 event, Federer was not given a first round bye. As the top seed and defending champion, Federer beatPhilipp Kohlschreiber in the first round in three tight sets after being down 3–5 in the third set tiebreak. During the match, Federer slipped three times in poor conditions. Federer then beatErnests Gulbis,Florian Mayer, andIvo Karlović, all in straight sets, to make his 10th Halle final, where he defeatedAndreas Seppi to win a record 8th Halle title. By winning he became the third man in the open era to win a tournament eight times afterGuillermo Vilas andRafael Nadal.

Federer enteredWimbledon as the second seed. He beatDamir Dzumhur,Sam Querrey andSam Groth in the first three rounds, losing just one set (a tiebreaker) against the Australian to reach the second week of the tournament. He easily beatRoberto Bautista-Agut in the fourth round in straight sets to advance to his 13th Wimbledon quarterfinal and 45th overall. In his first match on Court One of the tournament, he beatGilles Simon in straight sets to advance to his 10th Wimbledon semifinal. He then played a flawless match to defeatAndy Murray in straight sets and advance to his 10th Wimbledon final in a repeat againstNovak Djokovic, becoming the first man to reach 10 Grand Slam finals at a single event in the Open Era. However, Federer was unable to sustain his form against Djokovic as he squandered a break in the opening set due to a knee injury and despite a fightback to win the second-set tiebreaker from 3–6 down, he lost the match in 4 sets, committing 35 unforced errors in the process. It marked the first time Federer had lost two back to back finals at Wimbledon, and it again denied him the chance to win a record 18th Grand Slam and a record 8th Wimbledon title to break his shared record of 7 Wimbledon titles withPete Sampras.

Federer began his summer hard court season at theCincinnati Open as the second seed and defending champion. He defeatedRoberto Bautista-Agut in the second round in straight sets before crushingKevin Anderson in the third round to advance to the quarterfinals. He beatFeliciano López in straight sets to set up a semifinal clash againstAndy Murray. In the semifinal he beat Murray in two tight sets to advance to the final. In the final, he met world No. 1,Novak Djokovic and defeated him in straight sets to win a record 7th Cincinnati title and also deny Djokovic from achieving a historic Career Golden Masters. The win saw Federer regain the No. 2 ranking. It also marked the second time that Federer did not lose a set or have his serve broken at a Masters 1000, having achieved this record at the same tournament back in2012. This was also the first time that Federer had beaten the Top 2 players in the world at the same tournament, although this feat hadn't been possible during the years that Federer was ranked in the top 2 himself.

Federer entered theUS Open as the second seed. He easily beatLeonardo Mayer andSteve Darcis in the first two rounds. He then beatPhilipp Kohlschreiber in straight sets to advance to the fourth round where he defeatedJohn Isner in three close sets that included two tiebreaks and finally breaking Isner's serve for the first time in the since the2013 US Open. He then dominatedRichard Gasquet in the quarterfinals to advance to his 38th Major semifinal. FacingStan Wawrinka, Federer triumphed in straight sets to advance to his 7th US Open final since 2009, where he played againstNovak Djokovic for the sixth time this year for the championship. In their 42nd meeting overall, Federer lost to Djokovic in four sets, who once again leveled their rivalry to an even 21–21 head-to-head.

Switzerland played against the Netherlands in the play-offs. After Wawrinka won his match in five sets, Federer won his match againstJesse Huta Galung in straight sets to put Switzerland at a 2–0 lead against the Netherlands. He then played withMarco Chiudinelli in the doubles, but the pair lost toMatwé Middelkoop andThiemo de Bakker in five sets. The loss did not tire Federer as he went on to beatThiemo de Bakker in straight sets to put Switzerland back in the World Group.

Federer played at theShanghai Masters as the second seed and defending champion. He lost to qualifierAlbert Ramos-Viñolas in the second round in three sets.

Federer started his indoors season at theSwiss Indoors. As the defending champion, he easily beatMikhail Kukushkin. He then defeatedPhilipp Kohlschreiber andDavid Goffin in three sets to advance to the semifinals. He then beatJack Sock in straight sets to advance to his 10th straight Swiss Indoors final. He became the first man in the Open Era to achieve this record. Federer faced his archrivalRafael Nadal in their 34th career head-to-head meeting overall and their 21st finals meeting. Federer won in three sets giving him a record-extending 7th Swiss Indoors championship and his sixth title of the season. This was also his first win over Nadal since the2012 BNP Paribas Open.

Federer's next tournament was theParis Masters where he was seeded third. He easily beatAndreas Seppi before losing in the third round to American giantJohn Isner in three sets without ever losing serve.

Federer began his fourteenth consecutive year-end championships tournament with a straight sets victory overTomáš Berdych. He then beat the defending champion,Novak Djokovic in straight sets, handing him his first loss at the year-end championships since2011. The win over Djokovic also snapped the Serb's 38 match winning streak on indoor courts. With the win, Federer advanced to the semifinals for arecord-breaking thirteenth time. He then won a tight three-setter againstKei Nishikori despite being up a set and a break to go undefeated in the round robin stage. In the semifinals, he defeated his compatriotStan Wawrinka in straight sets after being down a break in the first set to advance to arecord-breaking tenth final at the year-end championships, setting up a rematch against Djokovic. He lost to Djokovic in straight sets, which saw their head-to-head rivalry an even 22 matches each by the end of 2015.
