Who has won the most Grand Slam Titles in Tennis?

Winning a Grand Slam title is the ultimate achievement in tennis. It represents excellence across the sport’s biggest stages, against the strongest fields, under the most pressure.

While hundreds of players have lifted tour-level trophies, only a select few have dominated the four majors often enough to rewrite history. From legendary rivalries to national milestones, Grand Slam records remain the clearest measure of greatness in tennis.

Below is a full breakdown of who has won the most Grand Slam titles, covering the men’s, women’s, British, and wheelchair tennis records, all based on the Open Era (1968–present).

What is a Grand Slam in Tennis?

A Grand Slam refers to the four most prestigious tournaments in professional tennis:

• Australian Open (est. 1905)
• French Open (Roland Garros) (est. 1891)
• Wimbledon (est. 1877)
• US Open (est. 1881)

These tournaments offer:

• The highest ranking points

• The strongest competition

Winning all four majors across a career is considered one of tennis’ greatest feats.
