Who has the longest winning streak at Wimbledon?

In the Open Era, Björn Borg and Roger Federer each won five consecutive Wimbledon titles, and William Renshaw had six before 1968.

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.

Björn Borg

Björn Rune Borg, born on June 6, 1956, is a former world number one tennis player from Sweden. He was the first man in the Open Era to win 11 Grand Slam singles titles between 1974 and 1981, including six at the French Open and five in a row at Wimbledon.

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.

In addition, Borg won 16 Grand Prix Super Series championships and three year-end championships. In total, he established many records that still stand. He held the titles of ITF World Champion from 1978 to 1980, ATP Player of the Year from 1976 to 1980, and ATP World No. 1 at year's end in 1979 and 1980.

Borg is the only Swede, male or female, to have won more than ten majors. Borg abruptly ended his tennis career in 1981 at the age of 25. In 1991, he attempted a brief but fruitless comeback.

William Renshaw

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.

Up until 2017, when Roger Federer won his eighth singles title, Renshaw and Pete Sampras held the male record for the most Wimbledon singles victories with seven. In addition, he and his twin brother Ernest won the doubles title five times. The British Lawn Tennis Association's first president was William Renshaw.
