On 16 July 2017 Roger Federer won his 8th Wimbledon championship. He had broken the record for most number of titles won, with William Renshaw and Pete Sampras coming second with seven apiece.

Federer won the tournament by not dropping a single set. He first won the tournament in 2003. The Swiss superstar won five in a row from 2003 to 2007 before being halted by Nadal in 2008. He soon returned to the top by winning the title in 2009 by beating Andy Roddick in the final.

Federer express won at SW19 for the seventh time in 2012 by beating home favorite Andy Murray in four sets.

Roger Federer holds the record for the most consecutive sets won at the All England Lawn Tennis Club- 34. He achieved this feat twice from 2005 to 2006 and 2017 to 2018. It shows how dominating Federer was during those years and how he would just steamroll past opponents without dropping any sets.

The Swiss maestro dropped only one set en-route to winning his third Wimbledon in 2005. It was in the third round against Nicolas Kiefer, where Federer lost the second set in a tiebreak. He beat Lleyton Hewitt in the semifinals and Andy Roddick in the finals that year. The next time Federer lost a set at Wimbledon was in the next year's final against Rafael Nadal in the third set tiebreak. Roger managed to go past the likes of Berdych, Tim Henman, and Richard Gasquet without dropping a single set.

During the 2017 Wimbledon, the Federer Express rolled on and did not drop a single set en-route to winning the competition. Considering his opponents, this was a remarkable feat. The next time the Swiss dropped a set was in the 2018 quarterfinals loss against Kevin Anderson, where he led the South African in the first two sets, only to crumble in the next three. It was a disappointing end to Federer's tournament.
