Singles titles only, as of November 11, 2026, counting the Australian Open, French Open (Roland-Garros), Wimbledon and US Open. The table covers every player with eight or more titles, men and women together; players tied on titles share a rank and are listed by earliest first title. It counts titles from both eras: tennis’s Open Era began in 1968, when professionals were first allowed in the majors. Margaret Court’s 24 includes 13 pre-Open Era titles, and the “Era” filter shows whose careers fall before, after or across 1968. The pre-1968 professional-circuit majors that Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall won are not counted, and the Australian Championships were not played by every top player in the early decades. Djokovic is the only active player in the table; Carlos Alcaraz (7 majors after the 2026 Australian Open) and Jannik Sinner (5 after the 2026 Wimbledon) are below the cut-off, and Alexander Zverev won the 2026 French Open and US Open. Country is the one a player is most associated with: Navratilova (Czechoslovakia, then the United States), Seles (Yugoslavia, then the United States) and Mallory (Norway, then the United States) are listed under the United States, and Lendl under Czechoslovakia.[1][2][4]

The Top 10

#1 (tie)

Novak Djokovic — 24 titles

Djokovic is the men’s record holder with 24 majors: 10 Australian Opens, 3 French Opens, 7 Wimbledons and 4 US Opens, won between 2008 and 2023.[1] His 24th came in the 2023 US Open final over Daniil Medvedev, which tied Margaret Court’s all-time mark.[3] He lost the 2026 Australian Open final to Carlos Alcaraz and has not added a major since, so he is still on 24 as of November 11, 2026.[4] The video is the 2023 final highlights.

#1 (tie)

Margaret Court — 24 titles

Court won 24 singles majors between 1960 and 1973, including a record 11 Australian Championships; 13 of the 24 came before the Open Era began in 1968, when the Slams were still amateur events.[2][5] Only 11 of her titles are Open Era titles, which is why Serena Williams’s 23 is the Open Era record. She also won the calendar-year Grand Slam in 1970. The video marks 50 years of her Slam history.

#3

Serena Williams — 23 titles

Williams won 23 majors between 1999 and 2017: 7 Australian Opens, 3 French Opens, 7 Wimbledons and 6 US Opens, the most of any player in the Open Era.[2] Her 23rd came at the 2017 Australian Open, beating her sister Venus in the final, which put her ahead of Steffi Graf.[6] The video is the match point of that final.

#4 (tie)

Rafael Nadal — 22 titles

Nadal won 22 majors between 2005 and 2022, including a record 14 French Open titles; he also won 2 Australian Opens, 2 Wimbledons and 4 US Opens.[1] His 14th Roland-Garros title came in 2022 over Casper Ruud, the final shown in the video, and was his last major.[7]

#4 (tie)

Steffi Graf — 22 titles

Graf won 22 majors between 1987 and 1999 (4 Australian, 6 French, 7 Wimbledon, 5 US Open titles).[2] In 1988 she won all four majors and the Olympic gold medal, the only player to complete a Golden Slam; the video shows her clinching the calendar Slam at the US Open.[8]

#6

Roger Federer — 20 titles

Federer won 20 majors between 2003 and 2018, including a men’s record 8 Wimbledon titles, 6 Australian Opens, 5 US Opens and 1 French Open.[1] His 20th was the 2018 Australian Open, over Marin Cilic, and he was the first man to reach 20.[9] The video is his speech after that final.

#7

Helen Wills Moody — 19 titles

Wills Moody won 19 singles majors between 1923 and 1938: 4 French Championships, 8 Wimbledons and 7 US Championships, all before the Open Era; she did not play the Australian Championships.[2] She is the highest-ranked player in the table whose career came entirely before 1968. No suitable official video was found, so the trophy icon stands in.

#8 (tie)

Chris Evert — 18 titles

Evert won 18 majors between 1974 and 1986, a women’s record 7 French Opens and 6 US Opens among them, plus 3 Wimbledons and 2 Australian Opens.[2] The video counts down her top US Open moments.[10]

#8 (tie)

Martina Navratilova — 18 titles

Navratilova won 18 majors between 1978 and 1990, including a record 9 Wimbledon singles titles; her ninth, in 1990 over Zina Garrison, is the one in the video.[2][11] She also won 3 Australian, 2 French and 4 US Open singles titles. She is listed under the United States, her later nationality, though she won her first major representing Czechoslovakia.

#10

Pete Sampras — 14 titles

Sampras won 14 majors between 1990 and 2002: 7 Wimbledons, 5 US Opens and 2 Australian Opens, and never won the French Open.[1] His 14th was the 2002 US Open over Andre Agassi, his last match, and the video tells that story.[12]
