Most Men's Singles matches played at Wimbledon

Novak Djokovic leads Roger Federer for the most Singles matches played at Wimbledon in the Open Era with 121.

The Serbian made history at the All England Club in 2026 as he set the record for most matches played by a male player in the tournament, surpassing the great Federer.

Federer made Wimbledon his own during the mid-2000s and the 20-time Grand Slam champion 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.

1. Novak Djokovic - 121 matches

Serbian ace Novak Djokovic surpassed Roger Federer's tally at the 2026 tournament.

The 39-year-old advanced to the semi-finals to breach the 120-match barrier at the All England Club.

Djokovic is one of Wimbledon's most decorated players, winning seven titles - one adrift of Federer and level with Pete Sampras in the Open Era.

2. Roger Federer - 119 matches

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.

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.

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.
