Roger Federer has won 98 single titles in his incredible career. However, someone has won more tournaments: Jimmy Connors.

The American legend has 109 under his belts and the only guy that can beat his record in the next couple of years is only Roger Federer, but…

Why Federer may not beat my record. CONNORS

During a recent interview with Amazon Prime, Connors explained why Federer might not break his record.

The American commented

He’s 37 already.

To me, 37, if he’s in shape and he’s still eager, and the distractions off the court don’t become overpowering, I think he still has the opportunity to go and play certainly for another year, maybe two if he wants to.

Maybe more. It’s that outside distraction that usually comes down and gets you. It’s being able to separate the two. It’s hard to do. When you’re playing tennis, forget about your family. That’s tough to do.

But when you’re with your family, forget about playing tennis. Now that’s just as hard. That was a very difficult thing. It took me three years after I got married and had our son, to straighten that out for me.”
