Longest Winning Streak on Grass

The longest ATP grass-court winning streak belongs to Roger Federer, with 65 consecutive wins between Halle 2003 and Wimbledon 2008. The streak began in the first round of Halle 2003, when Federer beat Sargis Sargsian 7-5, 6-1, and ended in the 2008 Wimbledon final, where Rafael Nadal defeated him 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-7(8), 9-7. During that run, Federer won five Halle titles and five Wimbledon titles before losing the 2008 Wimbledon final.

Second is Bjorn Borg, with 41 straight wins on grass from Wimbledon 1976 to Wimbledon 1981. His streak started in the first round of Wimbledon 1976, with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 win over David Lloyd, and ended in the 1981 Wimbledon final, when John McEnroe beat him 4-6, 7-6(1), 7-6(4), 6-4. All 41 wins came at Wimbledon, across five consecutive titles from 1976 to 1980.

Third is Novak Djokovic, with 34 consecutive grass-court wins from Wimbledon 2018 to Wimbledon 2023. The run began in the first round of Wimbledon 2018, when Djokovic beat Tennys Sandgren 6-3, 6-1, 6-2, and was stopped in the 2023 Wimbledon final, where Carlos Alcaraz won 1-6, 7-6(6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4. Djokovic’s streak covered four Wimbledon titles: 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022.

Fourth is Rod Laver, with 24 straight wins on grass between 1969 and 1970. The streak began at Wimbledon 1969, where Laver opened with a 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 win over Nicola Pietrangeli, and ended in the 1970 Bristol final, where Nikola Pilić defeated him 6-3, 1-6, 6-3. The run included the 1969 Wimbledon and 1969 US Open titles, when the US Open was still played on grass.

This grass-court hierarchy is therefore led by Federer at 65, followed by Borg at 41, Djokovic at 34 and Laver at 24.
