Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic were together at Wimbledon’s Centre Court again last week. Only this time, the Swiss legend was in the stands cheering for his former opponent. Federer’s presence drew a warm reaction from the crowd, as he smiled and applauded Djokovic throughout the match. The two icons shared a brief moment of acknowledgement after the final point, a reminder of the deep respect built over years of fierce rivalry. While Federer has stepped away from the sport, his support for Djokovic highlighted the mutual admiration that still binds tennis’ greatest champions.

Novak Djokovic is now the last man standing from the legendary “Big 3” era — Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic. 🐐🔥While his biggest goal remains the historic 25th Grand Slam title, there are still several huge milestones within his reach.

Here’s a look at four iconic Federer records Djokovic could still chase down before he decides to hang up his racket for good. 🎾✨The legacy battle isn’t over yet.

Novak Djokovic one short of Roger Federer’s US Open titles

One Roger Federer record that Novak Djokovic is closest to catching is Federer’s incredible five US Open titles. 🗽🎾Federer ruled Flushing Meadows with unmatched consistency — but Djokovic is now just one trophy away from matching that mark.If Nole lifts the title this September, he’ll stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Swiss legend in New York. 🔥

Roger Federer’s dominance at the US Open was something truly special. Starting in 2004, he went on a historic run of five straight titles, beginning with a straight-sets win over Lleyton Hewitt. From there, he remained unstoppable, defeating legends like Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray in the finals from 2005 to 2008.

🗽✨Novak Djokovic tasted US Open glory for the first time in 2011 with a memorable win over Rafael Nadal. He added titles in 2015, 2018 and 2023, bringing him within just one trophy of Federer’s mark.

As Djokovic heads to New York chasing a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title, the chance to equal Federer’s five US Open titles will be a thrilling bonus. The race for history continues. 🔥🐐..

One shy of Roger Federer’s record eight Wimbledon triumphs

Just like at the US Open, Novak Djokovic is also just one step behind Roger Federer in the Wimbledon title race. 🎾🏆Federer, the undisputed king of grass, holds eight Wimbledon titles, while Djokovic sits at seven, dominating the tournament in the modern era.

With every appearance at SW19, Djokovic moves closer to matching yet another iconic Federer milestone. The battle for grass-court greatness isn’t over yet. 🌱✨

Novak Djokovic’s first Wimbledon triumph came in 2011, nearly a decade after Roger Federer began his reign on grass. Federer’s dominance at SW19 is the stuff of legend — with titles in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012 and 2017. Along the way, he even stopped Djokovic in a tight semifinal battle in 2012.

Djokovic, however, carved out his own era of success at the All England Club, lifting the trophy in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022. In 2025, his bid for another final was halted by eventual champion Jannik Sinner.

For the seven-time champion, the quest to match Federer’s record eight Wimbledon titles will have to wait until next year. But with Djokovic’s unmatched resilience and grass-court brilliance, an eighth crown is far from impossible. The story isn’t over. ✨🎾

Novak Djokovic’s 100 titles only three short of Roger Federer

Tennis is one of the most demanding sports in the world — constant travel, endless training, and nonstop pressure. But for someone like Novak Djokovic, putting in the work has never been the problem.

In 2025, he proved that once again by lifting his milestone 100th career title in Geneva — a reminder of his longevity, dedication, and unmatched hunger for success. 🎾🏆A legend who just keeps going.Hashtags:

Even with 100 career titles, Novak Djokovic still finds himself just a few steps behind Roger Federer in the all-time tally. While a century of trophies is extraordinary by any measure, Federer’s record of 103 career titles remains one of the sport’s most iconic benchmarks. 🏆✨

Federer’s journey began over 25 years ago, with his very first title coming at the Marseille Open. From there, he won across every level of the ATP Tour, showcasing consistency and brilliance for two straight decades. His final triumph came at his beloved Swiss Indoors in 2019 — bringing his total to a staggering 103 titles. 🇨🇭🎾A standard of excellence few may ever match.

With 100 career titles, Novak Djokovic isn’t far behind Federer’s record tally. Surpassing 103 titles won’t be easy — especially at this stage of his career — but it remains a very real possibility. 🎾🔥If there’s one player who has consistently defied expectations, extended eras, and rewritten the record books, it’s Djokovic. Three more trophies to pass Federer? Difficult, yes. Impossible? Absolutely not.

Number of weeks spent inside the top 10

Both Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have dominated the top of men’s tennis for years. Federer first broke into the top 10 after winning the Hamburg Open in 2002, marking the beginning of an era that reshaped the sport.By the time he retired, the Swiss legend had spent an unmatched 968 weeks inside the elite bracket — the most by any player in history. 🐐✨A testament to his brilliance, longevity and consistency on the ATP Tour.
