Most Tennis Majors

The four tennis majors โ€” the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open โ€” are the sport's most prestigious titles. Novak Djokovic leads all men in history with 24.

The four tennis majors

A "major" in tennis refers to one of the four Grand Slam tournaments held annually. Each is played on a different surface, in a different country, and carries more ranking points and prestige than any other event on the calendar. Winning all four in a career is called a Career Grand Slam โ€” one of the sport's most celebrated achievements.

Most majors by era

Tennis has been played professionally across vastly different eras. The all-time list spans more than a century of competition, from the amateur champions of the early 1900s to the modern Open Era superstars.

Pre-Open Era (before 1968)
Roy Emerson ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ
12 majors
Emerson's record stood for over 30 years before Sampras broke it. Six Australian Opens, two French Opens, two Wimbledons, two US Opens.
Open Era (1968โ€“present)
Novak Djokovic ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธ
24 majors
The outright all-time record. Djokovic has won every major multiple times and holds the men's record at the Australian Open with 10 titles.
Most at one major
Rafael Nadal ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ
14 French Opens
The most dominant single-tournament record in tennis history. Nadal's Roland Garros record of 112 wins and just 4 losses is extraordinary.
Calendar Grand Slam
Rod Laver ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ
All 4 in one year โ€” twice
Laver completed the Calendar Grand Slam in 1962 and again in 1969 โ€” the only player in the Open Era to win all four majors in a single year.

What is a Career Grand Slam?

A Career Grand Slam means winning all four majors at least once during a career, on all four surfaces. It is one of the most respected achievements in the sport. Among active and recent players, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, and Carlos Alcaraz have all achieved it.

Winning all four in a single calendar year โ€” the Calendar Grand Slam โ€” has been achieved only twice in the Open Era, both times by Rod Laver. The rarity of this feat makes it arguably the most impressive individual accomplishment in tennis history.
