Pete Sampras News

The world’s best tennis players are competing in Wimbledon 2025, the third Grand Slam tournament of the season. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and seven-time champion Novak Djokovic are among those in action at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, which started on June 30 and will run for 14 days. The 38-year-old Djokovic is chasing Roger Federer’s record for most men’s singles titles at the Wimbledon. Here's list of players who have won most Wimbledon titles in men's singles:

Carlos Alcaraz has a chance to move up to No. 1 in the rankings next week, and will face No. 22 Frances Tiafoe of the United States on Friday in the US Open 2022 semifinals. 

Many would say that Djokovic has it as he has won 7 year-end No 1 titles. But not like Sampras who has done it in 6 consecutive years. Djokovic won two consective year-end No 1 titles, first in 2011 and 2012 and then in 2014 and 2015. His streaks were broken by Nadal and Andy Murray respectively, which tells you how dominant Sampras was with his tennis.    

Novak Djokovic made history by achieving No.1 rank for a record seventh time. Djokovic currently ties with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on 20 major singles titles.

Novak Djokovic was looking to avoid ending a season without a Masters title for the first time since 2017 and kept his focus throughout to accomplish his mission. 

By clinching the men`s world number one tennis ranking for the sixth time, Djokovic has equaled childood hero Pete Sampras' record. During the year, Djokovic won the ATP Cup in January before picking up a record-extending eight Australian Open Grand Slam in Melbourne. 33-year-old Djokovic, the winner of 17 Grand Slam titles, has mentioned that Roger Federer`s record of 310 weeks as No. 1 remains his target.

Roddick, who claimed 32 singles titles during his career, was quick to heap praise on "great friend" John Isner, the 6`10" American who reached the quarter-finals at Flushing Meadows last year.

The Swiss marvel also became the oldest man in the post-1968 Open era to win a major final since Australia`s Ken Rosewall at the 1972 Australian Open.

The head-to-head record between the  Swiss and the Spaniard is anything but even, with Nadal winning 23 matches out of 34.  

Injury forced Federer to skip the French Open ending a streak of 65 successive appearances at the Slams stretching back to 1999.

Djokovic delivered another masterclass to record his 82nd victory from 88 matches this year.
