Novak Djokovic v Rafael Nadal v Roger Federer Compared: Match wins at the four Grand Slams
Novak Djokovic has become only the second men’s player to reach 100 match wins at Wimbledon, but how does his record compare to his two great rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer at the four respective Grand Slams?
The 24-time Grand Slam winner is only the second male after Federer (105) to record a century a victories at Wimbledon, although both are behind the great Martina Navratilova in terms of most-ever wins at the All England Club for both men and women as the nine-time champion has 120 wins.
For Djokovic, though, it is yet another milestone on his impressive list of achievements with win No 100 coming with a straight-set win over Miomir Kecmanovic in the third round at this year’s grass-court Grand Slam.
“That sounds very nice. I am very grateful and privileged to be in this position. Tennis made me who I am and has given me incredible things in life. I never take anything for granted, especially at this age,” the Serbian said.
“I am still pushing myself to the limits and getting some splits and slides on the court. Wimbledon is a dream tournament of so many of us players. Any history here is a blessing.”

Interestingly, although Djokovic is the only player to have 90 or more match wins at all the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open, he doesn’t have the outright record in any of the majors.
Not yet anyway.
Djokovic v Nadal v Federer at the Grand Slams
Australian Open
Although Djokovic holds the record for most titles as he has won the season-opening Grand Slam 10 times, he is actually second on the list for most match wins.
Federer won only six trophies at Melbourne Park, but he won a record 102 match wins before retiring in 2022.
Djokovic, though, looks set to surpass that milestone as the Serbian currently sits on 99 while two-time champion Nadal had 77 wins Down Under.
French Open
With 14 titles at Roland Garros, Nadal was always going to be No 1 with match wins in Paris as he has a record 112 victories with only four (4) defeats in 19 main draw appearances.
But Djokovic has also reached the 100-win milestone as he achieved it during the 2025 edition of the clay-court Grand Slam as he moved to 101.
Federer is a distant third with 73 wins.
Wimbledon
Federer won eight Wimbledon trophies and he recorded his 100th win in 2019, but won only another five matches at SW19 before retiring.
The Swiss’s record is in danger of being broken by Djokovic, but the good news for Federer is it won’t be this year as the Serbian can only move up to 104 if he wins the title.
The grass-court major is Nadal’s worst in terms of the Slams as he won 58 matches at Wimbledon, having made only 15 main draw appearances.
US Open
First things first, Jimmy Connors has the record for most victories at the US Open as he won 98 matches.
Djokovic, though, sits second with 90 and he could potentially move to 97 this year, but then he would have to win the tournament.
Five-time US Open champion Federer retired with 89 while Nadal – a four-time champion in New York – notched up 67 wins during his career.
Overall record
Djokovic might not hold the record for the individual tournaments, but he has the record for total Grand Slam wins as he sits on 390 and counting, ahead of Federer (369) and Nadal (314).
