Novak Djokovic has won a record-24 men’s singles titles at Grand Slam events during his career. He has enjoyed a great deal of success at Wimbledon, the oldest and most prestigious of the sport’s majors.
Wimbledon has been played since 1877, when Spencer Gore defeated William Marshall in straight sets to take home the title. The best players in the world have routinely competed at the All England Club, and many have been able to win the tournament on multiple occasions.
Djokovic is one of 31 men to win at least twice at Wimbledon. However, he doesn’t own the record for the most titles at the grass-court major. That belongs to one of his counterparts, against whom he went toe-to-toe often during the earlier stages of his career.
Who has the most men’s Wimbledon titles? Here’s what to know about the event’s winningest participant and its history.
Who has the most men’s Wimbledon wins?
Roger Federer has the most men’s Wimbledon wins in the history of the event. He won the title eight times during his storied career, with his first victory coming in 2003 and last in 2017. That included a run of five consecutive titles at the major from 2003-07.
That said, Djokovic is breathing down Federer’s neck, having won the major seven times. The Serbian star has made the final each of the last six tournaments, winning four consecutive titles from 2018-22 (the event wasn’t held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). He lost the last two to Carlos Alcaraz.
Most Wimbledon men’s titles full list
A total of 16 men have won Wimbledon at least three times. They are as follows:
- Roger Federer: 8
- Novak Djokovic: 7
- Pete Sampras: 7
- William Renshaw: 7
- Bjorn Borg: 5
- Laurence Doherty: 5

- Wilfried Baddeley: 3
- Arthur Gore: 3
- John McEnroe: 3

Carlos Alcaraz can join that list if he earns a third consecutive victory at the championship in 2025.
