Most Wimbledon Titles In Open Era: Wimbledon is one of the oldest tennis tournaments in the world and arguably the most prestigious Grand Slam on the calendar.
Incepted in 1877, Wimbledon is held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. The Wimbledon singles crown is often considered the most coveted piece of silverware in world tennis.
No one has ruled Wimbledon quite like Martina Navratilova. She has the most Wimbledon titles in Open Era. The Czech-American legend boasts a record nine women’s singles titles, six of which came consecutively from 1982 to 1987.
Navratilova, again, is the most successful player in women’s doubles at Wimbledon in the Open Era with seven titles. Billie Jean King has ten women’s doubles titles to her name but only six of these are from the Open Era.
In men’s competition, Swiss legend Roger Federer tops the list of players with most Wimbledon titles in the Open Era with eight silverwares, earned between 2003 and 2017. This included a memorable five consecutive titles from 2003 to 2007, matching the legendary Bjorn Borg (1976–1980).
Serbian Novak Djokovic- the only active player among all- has seven titles and remains a strong contender to surpass the record.
In the 1990s, Pete Sampras ruled the grass-court. The American great collected seven titles, including two “hat-tricks” of consecutive wins from 1993–1995 and 1997–1999. His dominance set the gold standard for serve-and-volley tennis at SW19.
With four titles each, Navratilova and Indian tennis ace Leander Paes jointly hold the record for most mixed doubles titles at Wimbledon in the Open Era. The two even won one together in 2003.
