Roger
Federer retains the record of Wimbledon titles after Carlos Alcaraz's victory
in the final against Novak Djokovic.
The Swiss
maestro remains the king at All England Club, where he conquered eight
trophies: five consecutive ones between 2003 and 2007, and then in 2009, 2012,
and 2017. These titles make him the most successful male singles player in
Wimbledon history, surpassing 'Nole' by one title.
Prior to
this, Djokovic had won the Wimbledon title seven times in 2011, 2014, 2015, and
four consecutive times between 2018 and 2022 (with the tournament not being
held in 2020 due to the pandemic).
In this
particular Wimbledon final, Djokovic had the chance to equal Federer's record,
but Carlos Alcaraz thwarted Djokovic's opportunity in a memorable match that
the Spanish player won 1-6, 7-6(6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4.
Federer and
Djokovic have faced each other 4 times at Wimbledon, with a record of 3-1 in
favor of the Serbian. Federer's only victory came in the 2012 semifinal in four
sets, while Djokovic defeated him in three finals in 2014, 2015, and the
memorable 2019 final where 'Nole' saved 2 match points and went on to win the
trophy.
Roger
Federer has competed in four Wimbledon finals in addition to winning eight
trophies. He lost three times to Djokovic and once in 2008 against Rafael
Nadal. Federer accumulated 105 victories and 14 defeats at Wimbledon, boasting
an 88% success rate.
On the
other hand, Djokovic has lost two finals at Wimbledon (2013 to Andy Murray and
2023 to Alcaraz), accumulating 92 victories and 11 defeats, with a 90% success
rate at the All England Club.
The final
against Alcaraz also presented the opportunity for Djokovic to reclaim the
world No. 1 ranking, but he remains in the second position on the ATP ranking.
Djokovic's next appearance will be at the Toronto Open in the first week of
August, a tournament he previously won in 2016, defeating Kei Nishikori in the
final with a score of 6-3, 7-5.
