Wimbledon 2017: 5 records that Roger Federer has bettered with Title No. 8

#5. The second most years winning multiple Grand Slams by any player in the Open Era

Roger Federer has won multiple Grand Slams in six years, one less than Serena Williams

From 2004 to 2007, Federer won at least two Grand Slams a year. After winning only one major in 2008, Federer once again won two Grand Slams in 2009. He never went on to win multiple majors in any of the following years – until yesterday.

Federer’s Wimbledon triumph was his second Grand Slam of the year, having won the Australian Open previously. This makes 2017 the 6^th year in which Federer has won multiple Grand Slam titles which puts him above Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, and Chris Evert who have won multiple Grand Slam titles in five years.

The six years Federer has won multiple Majors: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2017

The only player in the Open Era who has won multiple Grand Slam titles in more years than the Swiss is Serena Williams who has won more than one Slam title in seven years: 2002, 2003, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2015.
