Federer's career features eight Wimbledon titles, five US Open titles, one French Open title, and six Australian Open titles. He shared a celebrated rivalry with Nadal and Novak Djokovic, the trio forming the "Big Three" that dominated the sport for years.

Federer's 2006 season remains a highlight, where he secured 12 singles titles, a 92-5 match record, and reached the finals in 16 of the 17 tournaments he participated in.
