Novak Djokovic now tops the list of players with the most wins in the men’s singles event at Wimbledon. The Serbian legend defeated Russian qualifier Roman Safiullin 7-6 (8/6), 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in the fourth-round match on Sunday (July 5) to take his tally of wins to 106 at the oldest Grand Slam tournament.
During his playing days, Switzerland’s Roger Federer managed to win 105 matches. In the list of players with the most wins in the men’s singles event at Wimbledon, Djokovic and Federer are followed by US great Jimmy Connors and Germany’s Boris Becker.

Only Martina Navratilova (120) has won more singles matches at the All England Club across the men’s and women’s events.
The 39-year-old is through to his 17th Wimbledon quarter-final and his ninth in a row.
Most wins at Wimbledon (men’s and women’s singles combined)
| PLAYER | COUNTRY | MATCHES WON | TITLES WON |
| Martina Navratilova | USA | 120 | 9 |
| Novak Djokovic | Serbia | 106* | 7 |
| Roger Federer | Switzerland | 105 | 8 |
| Serena Williams | USA | 98 | 7 |
| Chris Evert | USA | 96 | 3 |
| Billie Jean King | USA | 95 | 6 |
| Venus Williams | USA | 90 | 5 |
In his record-extending 66th Grand Slam quarter-final, Djokovic will play Canadian third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime or Spanish 22nd seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Djokovic’s win kept him on course for a blockbuster semi-final showdown with defending champion Jannik Sinner, who faces Japanese qualifier Shintaro Mochizuki in the last 16 later on Sunday.
“Survive to thrive, that’s how I feel. So hopefully the thriving part is coming,” Djokovic said.
“Our mind wanders all the time, it’s very hard to keep it in the present moment, whoever does that is a winner.
“I don’t get to feel inferior from the back of the court with too many players. Today was one of those days I didn’t want to stay in the rally for too long to be honest, so I had to mix things up.”
Djokovic has a 100 percent record in 20 Wimbledon matches against players outside the top 100, winning all 34 matches he has played against qualifiers at the Grand Slams.
After dropping a set in two of his first three matches at the All England Club this week, Djokovic again looked out of sorts at times but did enough to keep his bid for tennis immortality on track.
The Serb is aiming to win a record 25th Grand Slam singles crown, which would break a tie with Margaret Court and take him level with Federer on eight Wimbledon titles.
It would also make Djokovic the oldest man to win a Grand Slam in the Open era.
Djokovic is the only man to have reached five Wimbledon men’s singles quarter-finals aged 35 or over, surpassing the record previously held by Federer.
But improvements are needed from Djokovic before he can get his hands on the trophy on July 12.
