Next Monday July 3 will start the Wimbledon Grand Slam tournament and it could well be historic. Already, Roland-Garros had been by allowing Novak Djokovic to sit alone on the first step of the podium by winning his 23rd Grand Slam title. But if he wins Wimbledon, it could be triply historic as he could become the sole holder, men and women included, of the most Grand Slam titles won, join two legends with five consecutive Wimbledons won and join another legend , with eight titles on the London turf.
What if Novak Djokovic made tennis history again? After winning the first two Grand Slams, Novak Djokovic arrives in London with 100% confidence. And The Championships could be the theater of the history of the Serbian and of tennis. A form of evidence for the most legendary tournament in tennis.
Borg and Federer, only players to win five consecutive Wimbledons
In the history of the tournament Wimbledon since the Open era, only two players have managed to win Wimbledon five times in a row. The first was the Swedish Bjorn Borg who left no chance to his opponents between 1976 and 1980, winning all the editions. He could even have won six in a row if he hadn’t lost in the 1981 final to the American John McEnroe. Almost 30 years later, a young Swiss man managed to rise very quickly to the top of world tennis by also winning five Wimbledon between 2003 and 2007. And he could even have stretched this domination to seven since he lost a final against Rafael Nadal in 2008 before winning the tournament in 2009. Undefeated at Wimbledon since 2018, Novak Djokovic could therefore, in the event of a victory this year, join these two legends at the top of the rankings.

Federer, the only player to have won eight Wimbledons
And Novak Djokovic, in terms of awards is untouchable, Roger Federer remains for many the greatest player of all time. Wimbledon was the garden of the Swiss, who came eight times to win this tournament on grass. Since the Open era, it is obviously a record. Behind Roger Federer, Pete Sampras et Novak Djokovic are there, with seven titles won. The calculation is simple, if Novak Djokovic wins the 2023 edition, he will join the Swiss with eight titles to Wimbledon.
