Federer at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

Federer had one of the most dominating and successful years in the open era of modern men's tennis.[1] He won three of the four Grand Slam singles tournaments, did not lose a match to anyone ranked in the top ten, won every final he reached, and was named the ITF Tennis World Champion.[2] His win–loss record for the year was 74–6 with 11 titles, which included three of the year's four Grand Slams and three ATP Masters Series titles. He won his first Australian Open singles title by defeating Marat Safin in the final in straight sets.[3] This win saw him supplant Roddick as the World No. 1, a ranking he would hold for four years until 18 August 2008. In March, he won the Dubai Tennis Open, defeating Spanish player Feliciano López in the final.[3] A week later, he would go on to claim the 2004 Pacific Life Open, defeating Tim Henman in straight sets to win the title.[3] 2004 also marked the year where he first met rival Rafael Nadal, who defeated Federer in their first ever encounter at the tournament in Miami. Federer also won two titles in Germany, at the Gerry Weber Open in Halle and the Hamburg Masters, defeating World No. 4 ranked Guillermo Coria in the final to claim his second title at Hamburg [3] and end Coria's longest winning streak of 31 consecutive matches on clay. He entered the French Open as the number 1 seed but was defeated in the third round by former three-time champion Gustavo Kuerten. He then successfully defended his Wimbledon singles title, defeating Roddick in the final, and won his first US Open singles title, defeating Lleyton Hewitt 6–0, 7–6(3), 6–0 in the final. Federer was the top-seeded player at the Athens Olympics but was upset in the second round by Czech Tomáš Berdych. He finished the year by taking the Tennis Masters Cup in Houston for the second consecutive year, defeating Hewitt in the final. Federer's only loss at a Grand Slam tournament during the year was during the third round of the French Open, where he lost to former World No. 1 and 3-time French Open champion Kuerten in straight sets.[3]
