What records could Novak Djokovic break at Wimbledon 2025?

The Serbian is looking for his eighth Wimbledon and 25th Grand Slam title.

At 38 years of age, Novak Djokovic enters the Wimbledon 2025 Championships as a 7-time champion, equalling Pete Sampras and trailing only Roger Federer in the Open Era.

One of the greatest tennis players of all time, if not the greatest of all time, the Serbian has recorded several memorable victories, including over Roger Federer (2014, 2015 and the historic 2019 final), as well as his latest wins against Matteo Berrettini (2021) and Nick Kyrgios (2022).

The 2019 final in particular stands out as one of the greatest matches in Wimbledon history, where Djokovic saved two championship points to defeat Federer in the first-ever final-set tiebreak at 12–12. However, the last two editions have seen the Serbian fall just short of extending his Wimbledon legacy.

In 2023, he battled Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set classic encounter, where a missed volley and uncharacteristic errors in the final set tiebreak handed the Spaniard his maiden title.

The following year, in 2024, Djokovic returned with intent but was outclassed by a clinical Alcaraz in straight sets, marking a symbolic shift in power on grass. As Djokovic returns in 2025, seeking a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam, the hunger remains, even if the throne now has new contenders.

Oldest Grand Slam men’s singles champion

If Novak Djokovic wins Wimbledon 2025, he will become the oldest men’s singles champion in Grand Slam history. At 38, this achievement would surpass the previous record held by Ken Rosewall, who won the Australian Open at 37. The Serbian has time-and-again showcased his longevity and fitness even at the fag end of his career.

Historic 25th Grand Slam title

Djokovic is currently tied with Margaret Court for the record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles. Winning Wimbledon would give him a historic 25th major, making him the outright leader in Grand Slam singles wins for both men and women. This record would officially establish him as the GOAT, if not already. The Serbian has been chasing this record for nearly 2 years.

Equal Federer’s record for most consecutive Wimbledon finals

By reaching the Wimbledon 2025 final, Djokovic will equal Roger Federer’s record of seven consecutive finals at SW19 (2003-2009). Djokovic has already reached six straight finals from 2018 to 2024, with the 2020 edition canceled.

Second player to register 100+ wins in two Grand Slams

Novak Djokovic holds a superb 97-12 record at Wimbledon after reaching the final in 2024. He is just 3 wins away from reaching 100 match victories at Wimbledon, having already surpassed 100 wins at the French Open this year. If he achieves this, he will become only the second male player in history—after Roger Federer—to record 100+ wins at two different Grand Slam tournaments.

Joint-most Wimbledon title record holder

Yet another Roger Federer record is in sight for Djokovic, and this is potentially the most important one. After falling agonizingly short over the past two seasons, the Serbian will hope it’s third time lucky. A triumph would see him bring up his eighth Wimbledon trophy, placing him alongside Federer at the top of the Wimbledon honor roll.
