Novak Djokovic holds the record for the most match wins by a man at Wimbledon, reaching 105 victories after his third-round win against Alexei Popyrin in July 2024. This milestone pulls him even with Roger Federer, who previously held the record alone, cementing Djokovic’s status as one of the most successful grass-court players in tennis history.
How Djokovic Reached the 105-Win Milestone
Novak Djokovic secured his 105th career victory at the All England Club on July 6, 2024. According to official [Wimbledon statistics](https://www.wimbledon.com/), the Serbian star defeated Alexei Popyrin in four sets, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(3). This win allowed him to match the long-standing record set by Roger Federer.
Djokovic’s journey to this number spans two decades. He made his tournament debut in 2005 and has since secured seven Wimbledon singles titles. His consistency on the surface is statistically significant; he maintains a winning percentage at the tournament that rivals the highest in the history of the Open Era.
Comparing Djokovic and Federer at Wimbledon
While Djokovic has matched Federer’s win total, the two legends achieved their records through different career trajectories.
| Statistic | Roger Federer | Novak Djokovic |
| :— | :— | :— |
| Total Wins | 105 | 105 (as of July 6, 2024) |
| Singles Titles | 8 | 7 |
| Matches Played | 119 | ~115 |
Federer finished his career with 105 wins and 14 losses at the venue, per the [ATP Tour](https://www.atptour.com/). Djokovic’s path to 105 wins features a higher winning percentage, though he continues to trail Federer’s record of eight men’s singles titles at the All England Club.
Why This Record Matters for Tennis History
The pursuit of the 105-win mark highlights the longevity of the “Big Three” era. According to reporting from [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/), Djokovic’s ability to remain competitive at the highest level into his late 30s is a primary factor in his accumulation of these historic figures.
For Djokovic, the record is not just about the total number of matches won, but the sustained excellence required to compete deep into the second week of the tournament year after year. As of his 2024 campaign, Djokovic remains the only active player within reach of these historical benchmarks, with the next closest active competitors trailing by a significant margin in total match wins at the tournament.
What Happens Next for the Record
Following the 2024 Wimbledon tournament, Djokovic sits in a position to potentially own the record outright. Because he remains active on the ATP Tour, any future match win at Wimbledon will move him past Federer’s total.
Tennis analysts, including those cited by [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis), note that the focus for the Serbian remains on adding to his trophy collection rather than just match tallies. However, the 105-win milestone serves as a definitive marker of his dominance on grass, a surface that historically favored serve-and-volley specialists before shifting toward the baseline-heavy style that Djokovic mastered.
