And Even he could have more wins.
Federer has been in 52 finals in addition to the 100 he has won. He has lost 25 of those in a deciding set.
The most famous of those came against Nadal in the 2008 Wimbledon final, which lasted four hours 48 minutes.
BUT...!
Jimmy Connors' record remains a remarkable one.
He won his 109th and final tournament in Tel Aviv in the month after turning 37, and that was over six years before he finally called it a day.
Is there any way Federer can catch Connors? Probably not, given his age, as he would need to maintain his recent strike rate for another couple of seasons.
If overtaking Connors' record was paramount, Federer could target the smaller, less competitive, events. But this would come at the expense of the Grand Slams, which remain Federer's overriding motivation.
