However, this season had some high points. In the French Open semifinals, Federer defeated Djokovic and ended his 41-match win streak.

Grass court season and Wimbledon Federer was scheduled to play in the 2011 Gerry Weber Open in Germany, but withdrew, citing a need to rest ahead of Wimbledon.https://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=6631817 Roger Federer withdraws from Gerry Weber Open ESPN 6 June 2011 Federer entered Wimbledon as the third seed, his lowest since the 2002 championships.

Federer entered his 29th straight Grand Slam quarterfinal match with a positive record against his opponent, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He started strong in the first set, locking up the set in less than half an hour, but Tsonga responded, as the two went to a tiebreak in the second, which Federer won. Tsonga then began to work his way around Federer and broke him down, taking the next three sets by breaking Federer and holding serve. Despite a statistically stunning game (64 winners to just 11 unforced errors), Federer simply could not respond and lost a close match in five sets,https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/tennis/wimbledon/8606045/Wimbledon-2011-Roger-Federer-out-as-Jo-Wilfried-Tsonga-stages-remarkable-quarter-final-comeback.html Roger Federer out as Jo-Wilfried Tsonga stages remarkable quarter-final comeback 29 June 2011 Daily Telegraph 29 June 2011 London Jonathan Liew making this the first time in the season that Federer did not make a Grand Slam semifinal. It was also the first time in 179 matches (and only the third time overall) that Federer lost a match after winning the first two sets.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/9525398.stm BBC News Tom Fordyce Murray v Lopez as it happened 29 June 2011 US Open Series and US Open To open the US Open Series, Federer participated in the Rogers Cup in Montreal, where he had finished as runner-up the previous year to Andy Murray. He moved through to the third round after defeating wildcard Vasek Pospisil in straight sets. In the third round, he lost his second consecutive match to Tsonga (the first being in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon). Federer battled with Tsonga in the first set to a tiebreak, which Tsonga won. He then recovered by winning the second set and leveling the match at one set all, but Tsonga broke him down quickly in the third set to clinch a spot in the quarterfinals. He consequently held a slim 4–3 head-to-head count against Tsonga, after losing their last two meetings. His early exit from the tournament left Novak Djokovic, the eventual champion, as the sole Big Four player left in the main draw, as Murray and Nadal were both upset in the second round by unseeded players. Federer entered the Cincinnati Masters as the defending champion, winning the title last year over Mardy Fish. In the second round, he faced Juan Martín del Potro, a player who won his last two meetings against Federer at the 2009 US Open final and the 2009 ATP World Tour Finals. Federer defeated del Potro in a highly anticipated match. He then defeated James Blake, who had defeated him in the quarterfinals of the 2008 Summer Olympics, in the next round. He faced Tomáš Berdych, who had defeated him in the quarterfinals of the 2010 Wimbledon Championships and had won two out of their last three meetings, in the quarterfinals. After a shaky start and a plethora of unforced errors, Federer lost the match, hence failing to defend his title. Federer next participated in the 2011 US Open, where he finished last year as a semifinalist after a momentous loss to Djokovic. He started off in the first round with a win against Santiago Giraldo, then breezed past Dudi Sela in straight sets. He next faced 27th-seeded Marin Čilić. After winning the first set and dropping the second after Čilić took a break in the otherwise tight set, Federer cruised through the remainder of the match and defeated Čilić. He cruised past Argentine Juan Mónaco in a late-night match in straight sets, dropping only three games during his victory. He was set up to meet Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, against whom he had lost their previous two encounters. Federer went through the first two sets rather smoothly and held a resurgent Tsonga at bay in the third, defeating him in straight sets. He played Novak Djokovic in the semifinals in a rematch of their Roland Garros semifinal match, where Federer had snapped Djokovic's 43-match winning streak and perfect season start. Federer started strong, winning the first two very close sets in dramatic fashion, but began to show small cracks in his game and lost the next two sets. Both players traded excellent points and service games in those sets. In the deciding set, both Federer and Djokovic held serve until Federer managed to break Djokovic and serve for the match. Despite holding two match points, Federer, in a repeat of last year's US Open match, failed to convert on those match points and Djokovic broke back. As a result, Djokovic gained momentum and won four games in a row to defeat Federer in a very close match. Federer recorded his fourth season loss to Djokovic, losing yet another opportunity to win his first major since the 2010 Australian Open. His loss to Djokovic also marked the second time that season and in his career that he lost a match after winning the first two sets.

This marked the first time that he was outside of the top 3 since the 2003 Wimbledon Championships. Federer's next tournament was the Swiss Indoors Basel, which opened nearly one and a half months after his last major tournament at the Davis Cup and two months after his last ATP tournament, the US Open. As the defending champion and the world no. 4, Federer was seeded third behind Djokovic and Murray, and faced Italian Potito Starace. After a shaky start, he defeated Starace in straight sets. He then faced Jarkko Nieminen, who was fresh off a victory over Thomaz Bellucci. Federer blew through the first set, but a few mistakes in the second allowed Nieminen to take the set, bringing it to a tiebreak set. Federer eventually closed the match out with a tally. He then played against Andy Roddick, against whom he has a prolific rivalry, and routed him quickly in a win. In the semifinals, he met Wawrinka for the fourth time in the season. Wawrinka brought Federer to a first-set tiebreak, but Federer won the tiebreak and then took the second set to win the match. Federer played Kei Nishikori in his eighth Basel final, after Nishikori upset the no. 1 seed Djokovic in the semifinals. Federer pulled a quick victory over Nishikori to claim his second consecutive title, his fifth title at Basel, and his second title of the year.USA Today Federer wins at Basel for first title in 10 months https://www.usatoday.com/sports/tennis/story/2011-11-06/roger-federer-wins-swiss-indoors/51093620/1 2011-11-07 After Basel, Federer won the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris for the first time in his career. He opened up against Frenchman Adrian Mannarino and finished the match in under an hour, winning in straight sets. He next played against Frenchman Richard Gasquet, whom he played last in the Rome Masters, and made short work of him as well. Federer then faced Juan Mónaco, whom he had met at the US Open, in the quarterfinals. After a tight second set, he sealed the match, marking his 800th career match. He next faced Tomáš Berdych in the semifinals, and avenged his loss in Cincinnati with a win in 80 minutes.
