Which male player has won the most Wimbledon singles titles?

Roger Federer has won the most Wimbledon men’s singles titles, with eight championships. He set the record in the Open Era by winning in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012, and 2017.

Federer’s first five titles came consecutively, a remarkable run that established his dominance on Wimbledon’s grass courts. His 2007 victory matched Björn Borg’s modern record of five straight Wimbledon championships. Federer then reclaimed the outright record with his 2009 title and extended it to eight in 2017.

Pete Sampras and Novak Djokovic each have seven Wimbledon singles titles, while Björn Borg won five. This is a Wimbledon-specific record, not a record for total Grand Slam singles titles: Djokovic leads that broader category. Another common mix-up is confusing titles with match victories. Djokovic later surpassed Federer for Wimbledon match wins, but Federer remains the men’s singles title leader.
