Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are two of the greatest champions in Wimbledon history, with a combined 15 men’s singles titles between them.
And, perhaps unsurprisingly, they are the two men to have reached the most men’s singles quarter-finals at the All England Club in the Open Era.
Only five men in the professional age have reached 10+ quarter-finals at SW19, with the two tennis greats out in front as things stand.
5) Andy Murray – 10
Murray well and truly made his mark at Wimbledon across his career, with the home favourite triumphing in both 2013 and 2016.
And, during the peak of his career, he reached a staggering ten straight quarter-finals at his home Slam.
The former world No 1 reached the last eight for the first time in 2009 and reached that point at the very least until 2018, when he missed the event due to injury.
4) Boris Becker – 11
Few players are as synonymous with one tournament as Becker is with Wimbledon, the German reaching seven of his ten Slam finals at the All England Club.
And the German reached an impressive 11 quarter-finals at his favourite tournament, starting with his back-to-back triumphs at the tournament in 1985 and 1986.
Following an early exit in 1987, he reached eight straight quarter-finals from 1988-1995, before reaching the last eight for the final time in 1997.
3) Jimmy Connors – 14
One of the greats of the 1970s and 1980s, two-time Wimbledon champion Connors had a long and hugely successful career, including at SW19, where he was twice a champion.
The American ace reached the last eight on his debut in 1972 and then progressed to that stage for 11 seasons in a row, a run that was halted by a surprise fourth-round exit in 1983.
Connors then returned to the final in 1984 and reached two further semi-finals to bring his total quarter-finals up to 14.
2) Novak Djokovic – 16
A seven-time Wimbledon winner, the All England Club has become one of the happiest hunting grounds of the Serbian’s career, and he has reached his 16th quarter-final at the tournament in 2025.
Djokovic reached his first quarter-final at the tournament in 2007, and then progressed to seven straight quarter-final matches from 2009-2015.
He suffered a shock defeat in round three in 2016 but has made at least the last eight every year since then – winning the title four times during that run.

1) Roger Federer – 18
No man in the Open Era has won more Wimbledon titles than Federer, so it is no surprise to see the Swiss maestro at the top of this list.
Federer was just 19 when he reached his first quarter-final in 2001, famously downing Pete Sampras in the fourth round.
He then reached ten consecutive quarter-finals from 2003-2012, and after a shock round two loss in 2013, progressed to at least the last eight in his final seven SW19 appearances.
