Roger Federer's 2019 tennis season officially began on 30 December 2018, with the start of the Hopman Cup.

He ended his professional rivalry with Rafael Nadal in the semifinals of Wimbledon and contested his 12th and last major final of his career, losing to Novak Djokovic.

As in the past two seasons, Roger Federer paired with Belinda Bencic at the Hopman Cup, representing Switzerland.

Federer defeated Cameron Norrie from Great Britain, Frances Tiafoe from the United States and Stefanos Tsitsipas from Greece, all in straight sets, to help Switzerland advance to the final.

The tie against the United States was remarkable for staging the first-ever meeting between Federer and Serena Williams, considered one of the best female tennis players of all time, in a mixed doubles match alongside Bencic and Tiafoe.

[4] In a post-tournament interview, he admitted that he planned to play the clay court season in 2019, after two years of skipping it.

In the first two rounds, he defeated Philipp Kohlschreiber and Fernando Verdasco in three sets, advancing to a quarterfinal match against Márton Fucsovics.

He then defeated his fellow countryman Stan Wawrinka in dominant fashion, also in straight sets, to book his first ever meeting with Kyle Edmund in the fourth round.

This was Federer's 1200th match win in his professional career, setting up a semifinal against the 19-year-old Denis Shapovalov – a first time encounter between the two.

For the first time in three years, Roger Federer committed to play the spring clay court season.

In his first clay court match since 2016, and after a first round bye, he defeated Richard Gasquet in straight sets – on the twentieth meeting between the two – in under an hour of play.

For the first time in four years, Federer played the season's second and only clay court major, the French Open.

Federer moved on to New York City to play the US Open, the season's last Grand Slam, as the No.

He opened his participation with a four-set win against qualifier Sumit Nagal, booking a second round encounter with Damir Džumhur.

In the second and third rounds, he defeated Albert Ramos Viñolas and David Goffin, both in straight sets, to advance to a quarterfinal meeting against Alexander Zverev.

However, due to a back injury, Wawrinka was forced to withdraw from the match – and therefore, Federer advanced to the semifinals.
