Melzer followed this up by reaching the fourth round of Wimbledon, where he was defeated byRoger Federer in their first career meeting.[5] However, at the same tournament, he achieved his greatest success by winning the doubles title with German partnerPhilipp Petzschner.
After playing a few clay-court tournaments, reaching the final in one, and having good results in the others, Melzer moved on to the hard-court season, losing toPeter Polansky in the first round of Montreal andErnests Gulbis in the second round of Cincinnati. He then played theUS Open, where he reached the fourth round for the third consecutive Grand Slam tournament, having never been past the third round prior to the French Open.

There, he pulled off a surprise two-set win over No. 3 ranked and second seed Roger Federer to reach the semifinal stage for the first time in an ATP Masters 1000 tournament. However, he failed to reach his first final in such a tournament after losing againstDavid Ferrer.[8]
In the 2011 US Open men's doubles final, he arguably had his greatest success of the year when he and his doubles partner Philipp Petzschner won a controversial decision over the Polish team ofMariusz Fyrstenberg andMarcin Matkowski to claim the trophy. During a net exchange, a ball ricocheted off Petzschner's left shin, though he denied it. Instant replay of the telecast clearly confirmed the illegal return. Jurgen/Petzschner broke through in that game and won the match in straight sets, splitting a $420,000 purse.[9]
