The world No. 1 maintained his ranking for the full calendar year and reached all four major finals in 2006, winning three of them. His only loss at the majors came against Rafael Nadal in the French Open final in four sets, 6–1, 1–6, 4–6, 6–7(4–7). This was the first time they had met in a major final. In the other three majors of the season, Federer defeated Nadal in the final of Wimbledon, 6–0, 7–6(7–5), 6–7(2–7), 6–3. He defeated Marcos Baghdatis, 5–7, 7–5, 6–0, 6–2, at the Australian Open and Andy Roddick, 6–2, 4–6, 7–5, 6–1, at the US Open. In addition, Federer contested six Masters finals (out of the seven events he entered), winning four on hardcourt and losing two on clay to Nadal. Also, Federer won one ATP 500 series event in Tokyo, three ATP 250 series events in Doha, Halle, and Basel, and captured the year-end championship for the third time in his career. In December 2011, Stephen Tignor, chief editorial writer for Tennis.com, ranked Federer's 2006 season as the second greatest Open Era season, behind Rod Laver's Grand Slam year of 1969.http://www.tennis.com/articles/templates/features.aspx?articleid=15336&zoneid=9 TENNIS.com - Features - the 10 Greatest Men's Seasons: No. 2, Federer's 2006 2011-12-11 2012-01-07 https://web.archive.org/web/20120107114603/http://www.tennis.com/articles/templates/features.aspx?articleid=15336&zoneid=9 dead Year summary Federer won three of the four Grand Slam singles tournaments for the second time and ended the year ranked world No. 1, with his points total being several thousand ahead of world No. 2 Nadal.Caroline Cheese https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/6084812.stm Federer's Magic Numbers 2006-11-20 BBC Sport 2007-06-21 Early hard court season Federer started the year off by winning the Qatar Open in Doha.

After traveling down under, Federer won the year's first Grand Slam tournament, the Australian Open, by defeating Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis in four sets. This was Federer's seventh consecutive victory in a Grand Slam final (2003 Wimbledon – 2006 Australian Open), a record to start a career, and second overall only to Pete Sampras's eight consecutive wins (1995 Wimbledon – 2000 Wimbledon). This was Federer's 7th Grand Slam title, which tied him for sixth place in the open era with John McEnroe and Mats Wilander. Moving back to the Middle East, Federer reached the finals of the Dubai Tennis Championships without losing a set before losing to his budding arch-rival Rafael Nadal 6–2, 4–6, 4–6. This ended the 16-match winning streak that he had started the 2006 season on. It was also the first time Federer had lost a match on a hard court in over a year, the last time coming 13 months earlier in the semifinals of the 2005 Australian Open. Federer successfully defended his Masters title at the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells, California, defeating American James Blake in the final 7–5, 6–3, 6–0. This was his third consecutive title in Indian Wells, which set the tournament record for most consecutive titles. This third championship also tied Michael Chang's record of three titles in Indian Wells. Two weeks later he also successfully defended his Masters title at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, Florida, defeating Croatian Ivan Ljubičić in the final 7–6(7–5), 7–6(7–4), 7–6(8–6). With his victory in Miami he picked up his second masters title of the year, and became the first player ever to win the grueling Indian Wells-Key Biscayne double in consecutive years.

Because of the physicality and grueling nature of the match, both players skipped the Hamburg Masters the following week. Federer only dropped two sets en route to the first French Open final of his career. He met the reigning champion Rafael Nadal in the final. Federer had gone undefeated in 2006 except against Nadal, compiling a 44–3 record heading into the finals. He got off to a fast start winning the first set decisively 6–1. But the relentless nature of Nadal's play, constantly hitting high bouncing shots to Federer's one-handed backhand, proved a devastating formula. Federer eventually lost the match in a fourth-set tiebreaker 6–1, 1–6, 4–6, 6–7(4–7). This ended the many predictions of Federer winning the calendar year Grand Slam in 2006.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/tennis/01/29/aussie.open.men/?cnn=yes https://archive.today/20120717144622/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/tennis/01/29/aussie.open.men/?cnn=yes dead July 17, 2012 CNN SI.com - Seventh heaven - Jan 29, 2006 29 January 2006 12 December 2011 Although the French Open title eluded him, Federer became one of only two active players who had reached the finals of all four Grand Slam singles tournaments, the other being Andre Agassi.http://living.oneindia.in/celebrity/the-king-of-tennis-roger-federer.html Nikita C Fernandes The king of tennis: Roger Federer OneIndia 2007-06-21 https://web.archive.org/web/20070709055505/http://living.oneindia.in/celebrity/the-king-of-tennis-roger-federer.html 9 July 2007 dead thumb|left|300px|Federer won his fourth consecutive Wimbledon Championship title in 2006.
