Wimbledon: The greatest players of the prestigious tournament

Roger Federer

Roger Federer's Wimbledon Tennis Championships Wins

Why - Any amount of admiration and eulogy falls short of paying tribute to Roger Federer's game. He has won a record 8 Wimbledon titles over a period from 2003-2017, beating worthy opponents like Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick. This proves his resilience, determination and staying power.

Federer has a whip-like forehand and a commendable serve in addition to an exquisite backhand as well. This kind of game is suited to the grass courts of Wimbledon.

Federer has reached the finals in 7 consecutive Wimbledon finals from 2003–09 and he is the only player to achieve this record in the Open Era.

Federer was written off in 2012-13 because of his injuries and the decline of his dominance on the court. But he reinvented his game by bringing changes to his playing style, coaching, and racquets and ultimately reached the pinnacle of the sport again.

At 36, an age where most sportspersons are past their prime or retired, Federer seems fresh and ready to play more and win more.
