What are the records Novak Djokovic can break at Wimbledon 2025?

Novak Djokovic will be eyeing the 2025 Wimbledon Championships intently. Having lost the last two finals to Carlos Alcaraz at the All England Club, the Serbian will be hoping to get his hands on the trophy for the eighth time and possibly, given his age, last time. Indeed, the last time Djokovic won a Grand Slam level tournament was back in 2023 when he won the US Open and his fans have eagerly been waiting for a Grand Slam victory for the Serb. Winning the Wimbledon this year won’t only bring back Grand Slam glory for the 24-time major champion, but also a chance to break certain records in the sport. Here are the three major records that Djokovic will hunt down.

All time Grand Slam record holder

The Serb currently shares the record of holding 24 Grand Slam trophies with Margaret Court. Whilst their hauls are not directly comparable, winning the Wimbledon this year will make him an outright record holder and put him right at the top with the most Grand Slams in singles tennis. It has been almost a two year wait and one suspects that the window of time in which it is possible for Djokovic to win a 25th Slam is potentially closing with Jannik Sinner and Alcaraz now firmly entrenched as the leading lights in the men’s game.

Equaling Roger Federer’s tally

With seven wins at the All England Club, out of which four came on the bounce Djokovic is extremely close to equaling Roger Federer‘s record of eight titles at Wimbledon. Denied by Alcaraz twice, the Serb will once again be fighting to equal the Swiss maestro’s record haul. Notably, Djokovic beat Federer in three finals at the Championships in 2014, 2015 and 2019. Those wins back in the day have given him an opportunity to pass the Swiss legend in his all-time record and further cement his status as one of the greatest ever to play the sport – if not the outright greatest.

Oldest Men’s singles Grand Slam winner

Djokovic also has a chance to become the oldest men’s singles Grand Slam winner. He currently stands third on the list winning his last Slam at the age of 36 years, three months, and six days when he won the US Open in 2023. The record currently is held by Ken Rosewall who won his last title at the age of 37 years, one month and 24 days at the 1972 Australian Open.

That underscores just how significant the challenge facing Djokovic is, particularly given the increasing physical demands that the sport places on athletes. In his favour is that the quick conditions on the grass can be something of an equaliser, as demonstrated by Djokovic’s run to the final last year just weeks out from a knee surgery. But there is no doubt that it will be a big ask for Djokovic to win seven matches over the next fortnight.
