The 2024 Grand Slam tennis season saw an exciting mix of champions. On the men’s side, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz each won two Grand Slam titles, with Sinner claiming the Australian Open and Wimbledon and Alcaraz securing the French Open and US Open. This marked a rare year without a Grand Slam title for Novak Djokovic, his first since 2017. On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka dominated with victories at the Australian Open and US Open, while Iga Swiatek won the French Open, and Barbora Krejcikova triumphed at Wimbledon.
Novak Djokovic and Margaret Court are tied for the most Grand Slam titles in tennis history, each with 24. Djokovic’s most recent major win was the 2023 US Open, while Court’s dominance at the Australian Open contributed to her record. Serena Williams, with 23 titles, closely trails them, followed by Rafael Nadal and Steffi Graf, who each have 22 Grand Slam victories. Djokovic will aim for his 25th title at the 2025 Australian Open, where he has already claimed victory 10 times, emphasizing his mastery on Melbourne’s courts.
The all-time men’s Grand Slam leaderboard is led by Novak Djokovic (24 titles), followed by Rafael Nadal (22) and Roger Federer (20). Pete Sampras ranks fourth with 14 titles, and Roy Emerson is fifth with 12. Among active players, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner show promise as future challengers with three and two titles, respectively. Nadal’s dominance at the French Open, with 14 wins, and Federer’s eight Wimbledon titles underscore their specialized strengths and enduring legacies.
In women’s tennis, Margaret Court’s 24 titles remain the record, although Serena Williams came close with 23. Williams achieved her last major victory in 2017 while pregnant but fell short of matching Court’s record, losing four finals in 2018 and 2019. Steffi Graf, with 22 titles, retired at age 30, leaving a remarkable legacy. Other legends include Helen Wills (19 titles) and Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert (18 each).
