5 Roger Federer records that could be impossible to beat

#2 8 Wimbledon titles (Men's Tennis record)

Federer won a record 8th Wimbledon in 2017

Federer furthered his extraordinary 2017 campaign by finally winning another Wimbledon after 5 years of disappointment.

What's most extraordinary about this win is that in doing so Federer overtook Sampras and Renshaw as the all-time leader in Wimbledon titles for the men's singles.

Federer now stands at 8 Wimbledon titles and with it cements his place as arguably the greatest grass court player of all time.

Although Tennis icon Martina Navratilova stands at 9 records there is still time for Federer to at least equal her record.

Nevertheless, in the men's singles, it is a record and it will be a near impossible one to beat making it one of Federer's greatest records.

To put into perspective how dominant Federer has been at Wimbledon, the Swiss Maestro has won more Wimbledon titles than all of the active players on the men's tour combined.

This emphasizes how difficult it will be for Federer's record haul to be overtaken and given Nadal's abysmal form at Wimbledon over the last 7 years it is next to impossible that he will win another 7 titles, nor is it that plausible that Djokovic will win another 6.

Therefore, it will be down to a next-generation player with time on their side to break this record, but given how long it took the talents of Roger Federer to overtake William Renshaw's century-old record of 7 wins, who's to say this record won't last even longer and given that Federer probably could possibly win more Wimbledon's this record could feasibly reach 10 titles.
