Full list of players who beat Roger Federer at Wimbledon

Eight-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer has lost only 12 of his 119 matches in this championship.

Roger Federer holds the record for most titles at Wimbledon, with his eight titles at the Championship being the best in Open Era history. The Swiss icon is the only player to appear in more than 100 matches in the history of this tournament, losing only 12 matches during his career.

Federer won five titles in a row at the All England Club, a record he holds alongside Bjorn Borg in the Open Era. He is also the second man in the Open Era to win Wimbledon without dropping a set, accomplishing this in 2017 at age 35, making him the oldest men’s singles champion in the tournament’s Open Era history.

The Swiss maestro is the only player to have won two different Grand Slam tournaments five times in a row, achieving this feat at both Wimbledon (2003–2007) and the US Open (2004–2008).

Federer’s consistency is further highlighted by his streak of reaching at least the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for 16 consecutive years (2003–2018, barring 2013), and he never missed a Wimbledon main draw from his debut in 1999 through 2021, totaling 22 straight appearances.

Federer’s Wimbledon legacy is further burnished by his all-time Open Era record 65-match winning streak on grass and his status as the only player to win three different Grand Slam tournaments at least five times each (six Australian Open, eight Wimbledon, five US Open).

Hence, every time he lost a match at what had become his fortress, it used to be a significant moment. Federer lost his debut match at Wimbledon against Jiri Novak in 1999, and suffered another opening round loss the next year.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion reached the quarter-final for the first time in 2001, with his epic five-set victory over seven-time Wimbledon winner and World No. 1 Pete Sampras in the fourth round.

Federer won for the first time in 2003, embarking on a historic campaign as he held the title for the next four years, but Rafael Nadal‘s stunning performance in the 2008 final ended his sensational winning streak.

Novak Djokovic was Federer’s weakness, as the Serbian beat him on three separate occasions, all of which came in the final. The Serban remains the only player in tennis history to beat the Swiss legend on multiple occasions, with the most notable win coming in 2019, where Djokovic saved two match points on Federer’s serve to stun the crowd and complete one of the greatest wins in Grand Slam finals.
