Winner of his nineteenth Major at Wimbledon on Sunday, at the expense of Marin Cilic, Roger Federer has gone one step further in the legend!
With an eighth coronation at Wimbledon, Roger Federer has become the most successful player in tournament history. Six months after adding their 18th Grand Slam, on the Melbourne side, the Swiss added a 19th coronation in Major which places him more than ever as the most successful player in the history of Grand Slam tournaments.
Roger Federer goes back in time. Frustrated by Novak Djokovic during his returns to the final in the 2014 and 2015 editions, the Swiss returned to success at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and added a historic 8th coronation which places him as the most successful player of the history of the tournament, all eras combined, ahead of Pete Sampras and William Renshaw (7 titles).
Deprived of the title since the 2012 edition and its victory against Andy Murray, the Helvetian had never waited so much between two victories in London.
Six months after winning his 18th Major at the Australian Open, Roger Federer added a 19th Grand Slam trophy to his incredible record. More than ever, the Basel player is the most successful player in the history of tennis in Grand Slam tournaments.
A month after Rafael Nadal's tenth coronation at Roland-Garros, the 15th major career for the Spaniard, the Swiss again pushed the Spaniard to four wins. Pete Sampras, who had broken his winning record after Federer's victory at Wimbledon 2009, is behind him by five wins. But unlike Nadal, his total will not move anymore._AF
