who has won the most men's singles titles at wimbledon in the open era
List of Wimbledon gentlemen's singles champions In the Open Era, since the inclusion of professional tennis players in 1968, Roger Federer (2003–2007, 2009, 2012, 2017) holds the record for most victories in the Gentlemen's Singles Final with eight. Björn Borg (1976–1980) and Roger Federer (2003–2007) co-hold the record for most consecutive victories with five.[4]
2018 Wimbledon Championships The 2018 Wimbledon Championships was a Grand Slam tennis tournament which took place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom. The main tournament began on Monday, 2 July 2018 and finished on Sunday, 15 July 2018. Novak Djokovic won the Gentleman's Singles title and Angelique Kerber won the Ladies Singles title.
Andy Murray After strong grass court seasons in 2012 and 2013, Murray was seeded third for the 2014 Wimbledon Championship, behind Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, who were seeded first and second respectively.[236] He began his title defence with straight sets wins over David Goffin[237] and Blaž Rola, defeating the latter for the loss of just two games.[238] Murray continued his good form, defeating Roberto Bautista Agut[239] and Kevin Anderson,[240] the 27th and 20th seeds, again in straight sets to reach his seventh consecutive Wimbledon quarterfinal. Murray's defence then came to a halt as Grigor Dimitrov ended his 17 match winning-streak on the grass of Wimbledon (this includes the 2012 Olympics) with a straight sets win, meaning Murray failed to reach the semifinals for the first time since 2008.[241] After his defeat at the Championships, Murray dropped to No. 10, his lowest ranking since 2008.[242]
Roger Federer During 2004, Federer won three Grand Slam singles titles for the first time in his career and became the first person to do so since Mats Wilander in 1988. His first major hard-court title came at the Australian Open over Marat Safin, thereby becoming the world #1 for the first time. He then won his second Wimbledon crown over Andy Roddick.[66] Federer defeated the 2001 US Open champion, Lleyton Hewitt, at the US Open for his first title there.[66]
