Roger Federer's Wimbledon Tennis Championships Wins

Since his breakthrough win in Wimbledon 2001 against 7-time champion Pete Sampras in a tense 4th Round encounter, Swiss maestro Roger Federer has made winning a habit at the hallowed lawns of Wimbledon. No one would have expected the then 19-year-old Federer to eclipse Sampras' record of 7 Wimbledon titles.

But this is exactly what Roger achieved when he won his 8th Wimbledon Singles' trophy in the year 2017. Federer won his first Wimbledon title aged just 21 in 2003 and won 5 consecutive titles till 2007. His match with Rafael Nadal in the 2008 Wimbledon Final is considered to be the greatest tennis match ever. 15 years after his very first Wimbledon victory, Roger Federer is still as hungry as ever and it wouldn't be a surprise at all if he adds a few more Wimbledon Championships to his Grand Slam tally.
