Most Grand Slam Tennis Titles & Championships

In professional tennis, there are four grand slam tournaments per year: the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open. 

These four tournaments are the largest and most prestigious tournaments in the sport, so it is generally a career goal for professional players to win one of them at least once.

Truly great players aim for something even more impressive: the career slam. That’s the term for a player who has won all four tournaments at least once throughout their career. 

In the history of tennis, only 19 players across the men’s and women’s tours have nabbed a career slam.  

Here’s an updated list of the most successful grand slam tennis players of all time.
