Players with the Most ATP Titles in History

In this guide, we have shone a light on the top 10 most successful players in ATP history. SportsBoom has revealed how many titles they lifted, and we have provided mini profiles of each, so you can understand the impact they had.

Top 10 Most Successful Players in ATP History

We’ve produced a table showing the players that have won the most titles in ATP history. This is a general overview rather than just drilling down into Grand Slams and Masters 1000 crowns.

Apart from the Slams and Masters, the players on this list have also scooped their fair share of 500 and 250 series titles. The table lists the years they were active as well, so check it out.

Jimmy Connors (109)

Sitting proudly on top of this list is Jimmy Connors, who has won the most ATP Tour titles in history, and 109 is a staggering figure.

Undoubtedly, one of the best American tennis players of all time, Connors lifted eight Grand Slam titles, including five US Opens. Fiercely competitive, Connors was a tricky customer as a left-hander.

His final title came in Israel, and he was a hard-court specialist. During his retirement, he has done a mix of punditry and coaching, but his record haul of titles is likely to stand a little while longer.

Roger Federer (103)

A trailblazer and style icon, Roger Federer is one of the most popular male tennis players of all time. He boasted one of the best backhands in the game, and he made things look effortless.

On grass court, Federer at times was invincible, and he dominated Wimbledon with five titles in a row from 2003-2007. At the Wimbledon warm-up event (Halle), Federer won 10 titles, and that was a 500 series event.

At one point, Federer was World No.1 for 237 consecutive weeks, and he made plenty of finals. His retirement in 2022 was highly emotional, and he made his last competitive appearance at the Laver Cup. Since his retirement, Federer has travelled the world, and he has business interests off the court, most notably on the trainer brand. 

Novak Djokovic (99)

The only active player on this list, Novak Djokovic, who is one of the highest-paid players in the game, is widely viewed as the GOAT of tennis. Level with Margaret Court, one of the best female players ever for Grand Slam titles (24), Djokovic has essentially completed tennis and won everything possible.

His gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics was the crowning glory after years of pain. The Serbian was World No.1 for 428 weeks, a record that will take some stopping! Djokovic, who appears to be in the autumn of his career has been renowned for his incredible mental mastery, and he would love to add a 100th title to his amazing collection before he hangs up his racquet.

Ivan Lendl (94)

Originally born in Czechia, Ivan Lendl has spent most of his time in the USA. He amassed over $21 million in his career, and his win/loss record was impressive too (1068-242).

Although he won 94 titles in his career, he is perhaps best known for coaching Andy Murray, whom he helped win three Grand Slam titles, two Olympic gold medals, and scaled the heights of men’s tennis to reach World No.1.

Rafael Nadal (92)

The most recent retiree, Rafael Nadal walked away from the game at the end of 2024, and he was known as the “clay court king”. 14 French Open titles and a win-loss record of 112-4 at Roland Garros was astonishing.

Injuries arguably pushed his retirement forward, but he had a very distinguished career anyway. His rivalry with Djokovic, which covered 60 matches, captivated the attention of tennis fans.

John McEnroe (77)

Famed for his memorable outburst at Wimbledon when he said: “You cannot be serious!”, John McEnroe was one of the game’s great characters.

Bursting onto the scene in the late 1970s, McEnroe’s rivalry with Bjorn Borg, who we’ve discussed later on, was one of the most memorable.

Anyway, he picked up 77 titles across all surfaces, including indoor carpet, but the French Open eluded him. He squandered a two-set lead against Ivan Lendl in the 1984 final, and at the time, McEnroe and Lendl were in a constant battle for the No.1 spot.

Rod Laver (72)

Often spotted at the Australian Open, Rod Laver arguably paved the way for the great champions that have graced the game.

A three-time Australian Open winner, the tournament has a stadium named after him (Rod Laver Arena), and he was nicknamed “the Rocket”.

While he arrived at a time before tennis was formally professionalised, Laver was unique, and he is in the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

Bjorn Borg (66)

Ice cold in terms of personality, Borg’s career was turned into a film entitled Borg vs McEnroe which was released in 2017.

Borg retired from the game at just 26 in 1983, and while many pleaded for him to stay, including McEnroe, the Swede had made his mind up.

Despite his early retirement, Borg packed a lot into his career, racking up 66 titles. He will be fondly remembered for his Wimbledon success, nabbing five wins in a row on the hallowed grass between 1976 and 1980.

Ilie Nastase (66)

The Romanian was the first player to hit top spot in the official ATP rankings in August 1973, and he spent a total of 40 weeks at the summit.

Like Borg, he picked up 66 ranking titles, but he was once disqualified after clowning about during a round-robin match in the ATP World Tour finals against Arthur Ashe in 1975.

A controversial figure at times, it’s worth checking out a YouTube reel of his highlights if you haven’t heard of him.
