Male players to win three consecutive Wimbledon singles titles

Carlos Alcaraz is chasing a third consecutive Wimbledon singles title in 2025, a feat which has only been achieved by four men before him in the Open Era.

The Spaniard is a tennis phenomenon - having already won five Grand Slams at the age of 22.

In his last two Wimbledon tournaments, Carlos Alcaraz has emerged victorious by impressively defeating Novak Djokovic in the final on both occasions.

With a third consecutive Wimbledon title firmly in his sights, let's take a look at the four other men to have achieved this impressive record in the Open Era.

Bjorn Borg – 1976-80

Swedish tennis legend Bjorn Borg was the first to win three consecutive Wimbledon titles and even went on to secure five in a row.

Borg defeated lie Nastase for his first title in 1976, Jimmy Connors in consecutive years to secure three in a row, before beating Roscoe Tanner in 1979 and John McEnroe in 1980.

He almost made it six titles in a row at Wimbledon, but fell just short in 1981 as John McEnroe avenged his 1980 loss to take the crown 12 months later.

Pete Sampras – 1993-95, 1997-2000

"Pistol" Pete Sampras not only achieved this incredible feat once, he also achieved it for a second time on his way to winning seven titles in total.

After defeating Jim Courier in the 1993 final, Goran Ivanisevic in 1994 and three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker in 1995, the American suffered a shock straight-set quarter-final exit to Richard Krajicek in 1996.

The America bounced back in 1997 to reclaim his crown by defeating Cedric Pioline in the final. That was the springboard for another impressive run as he won the next three tournaments at SW19 - defeating Ivanisevic for a second time in 1998, Andre Agassi in 1999 and rounding his unbeaten Wimbledon run off with a victory over Pat Rafter in 2000.

Roger Federer – 2003-07

Arguably the greatest Wimbledon champion of all, Roger Federer won five titles in a row between 2003 and 2007.

The Swiss star kicked things off with a victory over Mark Philippoussis in 2003, before beating Andy Roddick in the final twice to defend his crown in 2004 and 2005.

Back-to-back victories over Rafael Nadal in 2006 and 2007 made it five wins in a row for Federer, before the Spaniard finally ended his run in 2008.

He reclaimed his title in 2009, but had to wait until 2012 to lift the trophy for a seventh time.

His eighth and final Wimbledon triumph came in 2017 as he defeated Marin Cilic in the final to cement his place as one of the best players to ever pick up a racket.

Novak Djokovic – 2018-22

Falling just shy of Federer's tally of eight Wimbledon titles, Novak Djokovic will be looking to simultaneously prevent Alcaraz from joining the three-in-a-row club whilst also adding a record equalling eighth title to his own tally.

With three Wimbledon titles already to his name, Djokovic won four consecutive titles between 2018 and 2022 - starting with a final victory over Kevin Anderson before coming out on top against Federer in the 2019 showpiece 12 months later.

The 2020 Wimbledon championship was suspended due to Covid-19 in 2020, but Djokovic made it three in a row by beating Matteo Berrettini when the tournament returned in 2021 ahead of a victory against Nick Kyrgios in 2022.
