He then beat Garcia-Lopez in three sets, then beat Gilles Müller in straights. In the semifinals, he beat Milos Raonic in two tiebreaks, making his second Top 10 win of the season. At the final, he beat Tomáš Berdych from a set down, winning his first 500 level, and first indoor title of his career.

Marseille

Wawrinka continued his indoor play in Marseille, where he first beat wildcard Benoît Paire in straight sets. His run of wins came to an end however, losing to Sergiy Stakhovsky after being a set up.

Miami Open

Wawrinka defeated in the second round Carlos Berlocq in a three set match, but he was beat by Adrian Mannarino in the next round in three sets.

Spring clay court season and French Open

Monte-Carlo Masters

Wawrinka began his clay season in Monte-Carlo where he was the defending champion. He faced Juan Mónaco as his first opponent and defeated him in straight sets. However, he lost against Grigor Dimitrov in the next round, receiving his worst loss of his career, winning only a total of 3 games. After his loss, he publicly announced on Facebook about his separation with his wife, Ilham.

Madrid

Wawrinka first defeated João Sousa in straight sets, but was defeated again by Dimitrov in the next round, this time losing in three sets.

Rome

After a slump that started since Indian Wells, Wawrinka started to show some form again after beating Monaco in his first match after being down a set and a break, and having break points against him for a double break. He then reached another ATP World Tour Masters 1000 quarterfinal after beating Dominic Thiem in straights, his first since Cincinnati the year before. At the quarterfinal, he defeated Rafael Nadal for the first time on clay, beating him in straight sets for the first time in his career, after being down multiple set points in the first-set tiebreaker.

French Open

Wawrinka started his 2015 French Open campaign, first beating İlhan. He then followed it up by beating Dušan Lajović, only dropping the third set. He then beat Steve Johnson, then beat Gilles Simon, both in straight sets. At the quarterfinal, he again faced Federer in a rematch of Rome this year, where Wawrinka turned the tables against his fellow Swiss, incurring Wawrinka's first win against Federer in a Grand Slam. This win meant that Wawrinka had finally beaten each of the Big Four in a major at least one time, and it also has brought Federer's first defeat in a major without breaking his opponent's serve, and also brings Wawrinka's first French Open semifinal. At the semifinal, he faced Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, where after winning a comfortable first set, he dropped the second after being a break up. At the third set, Wawrinka prevailed in the tiebreak after being down multiple break points in the set. He then won the match winning the fourth set, beating the Frenchman and advancing to his first French Open final, his second major final overall. At the final, he faced Djokovic, where he lost the first set. However, he was able to come back in the second set after being break points down in the first game. He was also able to win the third set comfortably. At the fourth set however, he lost the first three games. Wawrinka eventually was able to come back in the set, and had break points on the seventh game. Djokovic managed to save them all however, and had Wawrinka at 0–40 in the eight game, but managed to save them all. He finally broke Djokovic in the ninth game, and won the match after serving it out in the game after. With this win, he won his first French Open title, improved his major final record to 2–0, and won his second major title of his career.

Roger Federer's 2011 tennis season brought no Major victories but was not entirely unsuccessful. This year, when he turned thirty, marked a decline in his standing in the sport. It was the first year since 2002 that he did not win a Grand Slam title, and, with the ascendance of Novak Djokovic to World No. 1, his ranking dropped from 2 to 3 behind Rafael Nadal. However, this season had some high points. In the French Open semifinals, Federer defeated Djokovic and ended his 43-match win streak. Also, he ended the year well by winning three straight titles, including a title at the Paris Masters, and successfully defended his title at the year-end ATP Championships.

The tennis rivalry between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer is considered one of the greatest rivalries in men's tennis history and is one of the most prolific in the Open era.

Roger Federer's 2012 tennis season officially began on 2 January with the start of the 2012 ATP World Tour.

He won his fourth title at the Mutua Madrid Open on blue clay, becoming the only person to win a title on blue clay in ATP history.

After a quarterfinal showing at Indian Wells, where he lost to Juan Martín del Potro in 3 sets, Murray recovered to win the Miami Masters for the second time, defeating David Ferrer in the final. Winning in Miami meant that Murray overtook Roger Federer as World No. 2, the first time Murray had held the ranking since September 2009, meaning that neither Federer nor Rafael Nadal were ranked in the top 2 for the first time since the end of 2003. During the summer Murray won his first Wimbledon title, defeating Novak Djokovic in the final in straight sets to end Britain's 77-year wait for a home grown men's champion. It was Murray's second major title, and third consecutive title on grass, after winning at the Olympics the previous year, meaning he extended his winning streak on grass to 18 matches. In the summer hard court season, Murray failed to defend his US Open title, losing to Stanislas Wawrinka in the quarterfinals.
