The record for Wimbledon for Mens single wins is 7 (held by 2 players), similarly it is 7 for the US open (held by 3 players). Federer currently has 5 wimbledon wins and 5 US Open wins.
Question 1/: Is it possible that Federer could get into the position by the end of his career of winning the most US Opens or the most Wimbledon's of anyone in history ie 8 or more of either. He may not get both records but would he get either?
Question 2/: Regardless of your answer to question 1 - of the two tournaments which one is Federer likely to clock up the most wins - the US Open or Wimbledon?
My pick is that he could get one of these records. I believe that his better surface is the US Open (it is faster these days than Wimbledon - the latter having slowed down considerably), but he would strike more competition at the US Open (more players being able to play on hard court than grass). So it is hard to pick.
I think he could get to 8 Wimbledon's.
