Federer was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Söderling in a rematch of the previous year's final. This was the first time since the 2004 French Open that Federer did not reach the semifinals of a major, a span of 23 majors. Federer was attempting to become the first man in the Open Era and the third man ever to achieve a double career Grand Slam. Between the 2004 Wimbledon Championships and the 2017 Australian Open, this was the only major not to feature either Federer or Novak Djokovic in the semifinals.[2][3] Djokovic's quarterfinal match against Jürgen Melzer marked the only time he lost a match at a major after leading two sets to love.
