Most Men's Singles matches played at Wimbledon

Roger Federer leads the way for the most Singles matches played at Wimbledon in the Open era with 119.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion is arguably the greatest male player to ever exist and made Wimbledon his own during the mid-2000s. Federer won five consecutive titles between 2003 and 2007 and finished his career with an outstanding record of 105 wins and 14 losses until his retirement in 2022.

Although still out in front, his record for the most matches played may soon come under threat...

1. Roger Federer - 119 matches

Out in front by four, Federer had a glittering Wimbledon career that spanned some 22 years.

After only advancing beyond the opening round once in his first four visits to SW19, he defeated Mark Philippoussis in the 2003 final to kick-off his magnificent quintet of triumphs.

2. Novak Djokovic - 115 matches

Serbian ace Novak Djokovic has the chance to at least equal, and maybe even surpass Federer's tally this year.

The 39-year-old needs to play just four more times to draw level with his great rival, meaning that a run through to the quarter-finals would see him reach the 120-match mark.

With no Carlos Alcaraz at this year's tournament, Djokovic has a real chance to add to his seven Wimbledon titles.

3. Jimmy Connors - 102 matches

Jimmy Connors was just the second American to win a Wimbledon title during the Open era when he defeated Ken Rosewall in 1974. The eight years that followed would see Connors fail to reach the final four of the competition just once, adding a second victory to his CV in 1982.

The California-native struck up an intense rivalry with fellow American John McEnroe, meeting him four times in the final, sharing the spoils equally with two wins and two losses.

4. Boris Becker - 83 matches

Boris Becker shot to stardom during the 1980s when he became the youngest-ever Male Wimbledon champion at just 17 years, 9 months and 15 days.

Becker, along with Goran Ivanišević, remain the only two unseeded winners of the British Grand Slam.

5. Andy Murray - 74 matches

After tasting defeat in the 2012 final against Roger Federer, Scot Andy Murray didn't have to wait too long to get his hands on the Wimbledon trophy when he exacted a hard-fought win on Djokovic just 12 months on.

Murray ended an agonising 76-year wait for a Briton to be crowned champion and doubled his tally in 2016 when he got the better of Canadian Milos Raonic in straight sets.

His Wimbledon journey began all the way back in 2005 and concluded 18 years later with a loss at the hands of Stefanos Tsitsipas.
