The Wimbledon 2021 is about to begin in two weeks and fans seem quite excited about it. The Grand Slam didn’t take place last year due to the coronavirus pandemic and as a result, Novak Djokovic and Simona Halep are still the defending champions of the major. However, one name automatically strikes everyone’s minds when they hear anything about Wimbledon – Roger Federer.

Roger Federer and the Wimbledon Championships have a special connection. It was at this Grand Slam itself that the tennis world got to know about him. Interestingly, he won his first-ever major at the Wimbledon Championships in 2003 at the age of 22. However, is Federer the player who has won the most number of Wimbledon titles to date?

On the men’s side, Federer has won the most number of Wimbledon Championships. He currently has eight titles to his name and is one ahead of Pete Sampras’ tally of seven Wimbledon titles.
