5 lesser-known Roger Federer records

#5 Most defeats in tournament finals

Federer sits glum-faced after the 2019 Wimbledon final

Federer lost for a record-extending 54th time in a tournament final with the defeat to Novak Djokovic in the 2019 Wimbledon title match.

Federer served up consecutive aces to arrive at two championship points at 8-7 40-15 late in the fifth set. But then, incredibly, he blinked, as Djokovic fought back to win in a historic first-ever Wimbledon fifth-set tiebreak. That made the Serb the first Wimbledon champion in 71 years to have saved multiple championship points .

Ivan Lendl (52) is the first player in the Open Era to have lost 50 or more tournament finals. Federer went past Lendl's mark when he lost to Dominic Thiem in the 2019 Indian Wells final.
