Federer - How many Wimbledon titles and Grand Slams will he win in his career?
Posted by tennisplanet on June 27, 2007
Everyone has been throwing up numbers, to estimate where Federer will end up, when he hangs up his racket.
Sampras and Agassi have predicted around 18 majors. But what does history and the stats say?
As far as Wimbledon goes, we all know, no one has ever won more than seven singles titles here. Federer is pursuing his fifth one this year.
Sampras won seven titles all together. Four of them came before the age of 26. The last one came at age 28, well, one month shy of 29.
Federer is on pace, but if he wins here, he would have one more than Sampras before turning 26. And if Sampras is taken as a bench mark, Federer should bag at least three more, for a grand total of 8 Wimbledon titles.
As far as majors are concerned, the most anyone in the history has won is Lendl - six -
