She has won 23 major singles titles, most by any man or woman in the Open Era. The Women’s Tennis Association ranked her world No. 1 in singles on eight separate occasions between 2002 and 2017.

Serena Williams holds the most Grand Slam titles in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles combined among active players.  Her 39 Grand Slam titles put her joint-third on the all-time list and second in the Open Era: 23 in singles, 14 in women’s doubles, and two in mixed doubles.  She is the most recent female player to have held all four Grand Slam singles titles simultaneously (2002–03 and 2014–15) and the third player to achieve this twice, after Rod Laver and Steffi Graf.  She is also the most recent player to have won a Grand Slam title on each surface (hard, clay and grass) in one calendar year (2015).  She is also, together with her older sister Venus, the most recent player to have held all four Grand Slam women’s doubles titles simultaneously (2009–10).

Williams has won a record of 13 Grand Slam singles titles on hard court. Williams holds the Open Era record for most titles won at the Australian Open (7) and shares the Open Era record for most titles won at the US Open with Chris Evert (6).  She also holds the record for the most women’s singles matches won at majors with 349 matches. — Skip down for Social Media links.
