As the Wimbledon finals draw closer, some players could be in line for their first-ever titles, while one player has the chance to enter the record books. The current men's and women's singles champions both earned their only Wimbledon titles to date in last year's tournament.
Men's and Women's Singles Dominance
Italy's Jannik Sinner is aiming to defend his 2025 crown, but current women's singles champion Iga Swiatek was a shock third-round elimination this year, so will not be able to add to her tally. Roger Federer holds two significant records in Wimbledon men's singles. He holds both the record for most men's singles titles with eight and a joint-record with Bjorn Borg for the most consecutive titles at five. The only active player who is close to equalling or breaking his record of total titles is Novak Djokovic, who with seven could draw level if he wins this year's tournament. Carlos Alcaraz, who has missed this year's Wimbledon because of injury, is the next closest player with two titles, which Sinner could equal this year if he retains his crown.
The Legacy of Martina Navratilova
Martina Navratilova holds multiple Wimbledon records across both singles and doubles. She holds the record for both the most women's singles titles with nine and the most consecutive titles with six. Both records are unlikely to be challenged any time soon. Despite Serena Williams making a return to professional tennis this year, she exited in the first round and would have to win the tournament a further two times to draw level. Other than her sister Venus, who has five women's singles titles, no other active players have won the tournament more than once.
Success in Doubles Competitions
Australia's Todd Woodbridge has won the most doubles titles at Wimbledon, with nine. Six of those came when partnered with fellow Australian Mark Woodforde, making them the most prolific doubles pair in the tournament's Open era. John Newcombe and Tony Roche are the next closest players to the record, having won four titles while partnered together in the Open era, as well as one in the Amateur era pre-1968. Navratilova is once again a record-holder, with seven Open era women's doubles titles to her name. Billie Jean King won 10 women's doubles titles in her career, including one while partnered with Navratilova, but four of those came in the tournament's Amateur era. However, the tournament's most successful pairing are Venus and Serena Williams, with a women's partnership record of six Wimbledon titles.
Wheelchair Tennis Records
Wheelchair tennis has only been played at Wimbledon since 2005 for men's doubles, 2009 for women's doubles and 2016 for both sets of singles. Sweden's Stefan Olsson and Japan's Tokito Oda, who have both won twice, are the only players to have won the men's singles more than once. British pair Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid share the record for most men's doubles titles at six each, always partnered together, making them the most prolific wheelchair doubles team in Wimbledon history. In the women's singles, Dutch player Diede de Groot dominates as the only player to have won more than once, winning six titles. Only one player who is not from the Netherlands has ever won a women's wheelchair tennis singles title at Wimbledon, which was China's Wang Ziying in 2025.
