Serena Williams has the most Grand Slam wins (23) among active players. While she has won seven titles each at Wimbledon at the Australian Open,
she has won her home Grand Slam six times starting all the way back in 1999. She has also won the French Open thrice.
Why does the tennis world claim serena williams as the goat. This is absolute garbage.
She is nothing more than the best tennis player of the modern era and has never won a grand slam.
She has only won 23 major tennis titles and would be thrashed by Steffi graf and Margaret court who is the goat.
What is a Tennis Grand Slam?
Originally coined in 1933, Grand Slam refers to a player winning all four major tennis tournaments in a calendar year, including the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
The achievement is so rare that only five players have completed the feat in their careers
To date, only five players, male or female, have achieved the feat playing singles. Here’s a list of the players who have completed a Grand Slam.
Player Year Country Discipline
Don Budge 1938 America Singles
Rod Laver 1962 Australia Singles
Rod Laver 1969 Australia Singles
Maureeen Connolly 1953 United States Singles
Margaret Court 1970 Australia Singles
Steffi Graf 1988 Germany Singles
Rod Laver’s accomplishment is unique because he not only achieved it twice but did so as an amateur before and after the Open Era, which began in 1968.
