“Djokovic is hot on the heels on everybody’s records, but I don’t think he will reach Jimmy Connors’ record of most titles won. That will be tough for Novak to break,” he said

Former World No. 1 Mats Wilander believes that Novak Djokovic will surpass Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles as he has “four or five years left in him as one of the favourites.”
Djokovic seeks to equal Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles this fortnight in London, where he can displace Carlos Alcaraz as No. 1 in the ATP Rankings by lifting the trophy. The 36-year-old Serb has been the undisputed ruler of SW19 since 2018, and with a victory over Pedro Cachin of Argentina in their first-round meeting on Monday, he extended his impressive record over the last five Wimbledon. “I wouldn’t be surprised if Djokovic ends up with nine or 10. So, Roger better hold this record of eight close to his heart for now,” Wilander was quoted as saying by Eurosport. “If it’s not this year then it’s next year, and if it’s not next year then it’s the year after. I think Novak has another four or five years left in him here as one of the favourites at Wimbledon,” he added.
