Wimbledon 2017: 5 records that Roger Federer has bettered with Title No. 8

#2. The most number of Wimbledon titles by a male player

Federer now has more Wimbledon titles than any other male player

With his 2012 Wimbledon title win, Federer equaled Pete Sampras’ record of 7 Wimbledon titles.

Yesterday, he bettered that record by winning an eighth title at the grass arena, thus becoming the only man to have won that many titles at Wimbledon.

Federer had the opportunity to better Sampras’ record on two occasions when he reached the final in 2014 and 2015, losing the former one in five sets. By winning yesterday’s final, the Swiss is now second in the list of most Wimbledon titles, bettering Serena Williams and Steffi Graf with only Martina Navratilova ahead of him with 9 Wimbledon titles.
