Only two players in the Open Era have been able to win more than 100 titles and one of them was Roger Federer. Since his debut in 1998 he has been one of the players with the most wins and titles in the last 20 years.
Other active tennis players like Rafael Nadal are close to reaching 100 titles and it is likely that he will break Federer’s record in about 2-3 years. But other players like Djokovic are still more than 20+ titles away from reaching that mark.
Roger Federer apart from the small tournament titles, he was one of the few pro tennis players to win more than ten Grand Slams during his career. Only three players won more than 15 titles and they did it during the 21th century.
