Novak Djokovic holds the record for the longest winning streak of 2194 days without a loss at Wimbledon. He suffered his last defeat in the quarterfinal of the 2017 Wimbledon Open against Tomas Berdych. Djokovic was forced to retire due to his right shoulder injury after losing the first set by 7-6(2) and down by 2-0 in the second set. He has not lost any match on Centre Court in 10 years.

Wimbledon Open Consecutive Titles

William Renshaw, who won six times between 1881 and 1886, holds the record for the most consecutive Wimbledon singles victories before 1968. However, Björn Borg and Roger Federer both achieved the feat five times in a row during the Open Era, from 1976 to 1980 and 2003 to 2007, respectively.

Roger Federer

Roger Federer, a former professional tennis player from Switzerland, was born on August 8, 1981. The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) ranked him as the top singles player in the world for 310 weeks, including a record 237 consecutive weeks.

Federer finished with 103 singles victories on the ATP Tour, including 20 major singles titles, a record eight Wimbledon victories, a tie-record five US Open victories during the Open Era, and a tie-record of six ATP Finals.

Roger Federer has an excellent record in Grand Slam singles events. He has six Australian Open titles, one French Open, eight Wimbledon titles and five US Open titles. Federer has also been successful in other tournaments. He also won the silver medal at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Borg was the first man to play in six straight Wimbledon finals since 1886. The only other person to accomplish this feat was Roger Federer. Borg is also the only individual to have successfully completed the Channel Slam three times.

Three times in the same year, Borg advanced to the finals of the French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open (1978, 1980–81). He didn't lose a set while competing in those tournaments and took home three major titles. He never won the US Open, despite finishing runner-up four times.

William Charles Renshaw, a British tennis player who competed in the late 19th century and held the No. 1 ranking at the time, was born on January 3, 1861, and died on August 8, 1904.

During his career, he amassed 12 Grand Slam titles. He was a right-hander known for his power and technical skills, which at the time gave him an advantage over others.
