The Serb, favorite against Carlos Alcaraz, this Sunday can lift the trophy for a fifth consecutive edition. In this case, he would overtake Pete Sampras and equal Bjorn Borg and Roger Federer. The Swiss had thus aligned five titles between 2003 and 2007. The Swede had accomplished this feat between 1956 and 1980.

Djokovic’s track count at Church Road. Over the last ten editions, he has won his 7 trophies (2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022), more than Roger Federer (2012, 2017) and Andy Murray (2013, 2016) combined. With seven crowns, Djokovic has joined Pete Sampras and could equal the record for the number of titles gleaned from London grass (8).

Since his loss to Murray, the Center Court boss has lined up… 45 consecutive victories in the Temple of Tennis. An incredible series that Carlos Alcaraz will try to break this Sunday. The other two longest streaks belonged to Roger Federer and Helen Wills Moody, with 32 straight wins.
