Roger Federer's top five unbreakable records

Roger Federer holds several notable records in addition to winning the most Wimbledon titles.

On October 28, 2019, Roger Federer became just the second man in ATP history to claim 100 or more singles titles, joining Jimmy Connors (109) in this elite group. He concluded his illustrious career with 103 ATP titles, a mark of consistent excellence until Novak Djokovic matched the feat in 2025.

Federer’s final triumph came fittingly at his hometown tournament in Basel, where he delivered a dominant 6–2, 6–2 victory over Alex de Minaur, thereby sealing his legacy with a masterclass on home soil. Taking a look back at his career, we revisit the top five records of Federer, which are unlikely to be broken soon.

5. 100+ match wins at two different Grand Slams

Federer is the only man to win over 100 matches at two different Grand Slam tournaments—Wimbledon and the Australian Open. He reached this milestone at Wimbledon in 2019 and later at the Australian Open, a testament to his longevity and adaptability on different surfaces.

The only player who could potentially break this record is Novak Djokovic, currently in the 90s across all Slams, barring the French Open, where he reached the triple-digit mark in 2025.

4. 65-match grass court winning streak

Federer’s supremacy on grass is legendary. He won 65 consecutive matches on the surface between 2003 and 2008, a record for the men’s Open Era. This streak included five straight Wimbledon titles (2003–2007) and culminated in his record eighth Wimbledon men’s singles crown (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012, 2017).

His blend of precision, movement, and tactical brilliance on grass courts set a benchmark that future generations may admire but almost certainly never surpass.

3. Never retired from a match

Across more than 1,500 professional singles and doubles matches, Federer never forfeited a match mid-way due to injury or any other reason. This is an extraordinary testament to his physical durability, professionalism, and respect for the sport and the crowd.

In an era when the physical demands of tennis are only increasing, Federer’s ability to always finish games on a high is another reason why fans love him so much.

2. Most Wimbledon titles for a men’s singles player (8)

Federer’s eight Wimbledon singles titles are the most in the tournament’s storied history. His mastery of grass, highlighted by a 65-match winning streak on the surface, set a new standard for dominance at the All England Club.

Pete Sampras and Novak Djokovic are next, at seven, with the Serbian having a slight chance at equalling this sensational record, but it is extremely unlikely to reach 9.

1. 237 consecutive weeks as World No. 1

Federer’s reign at the summit of men’s tennis from February 2004 to August 2008 saw him hold the No. 1 ranking for an astonishing 237 consecutive weeks—over four and a half years without interruption. This streak is impossible to break, as it demands ridiculous consistency, dominance, and ability to fend off all challengers across surfaces and continents.

No other player has come close to this level of sustained excellence at the top, and with the modern game’s physical demands and depth, it’s hard to imagine anyone ever surpassing this mark.
