Margaret Court

Margaret Court holds the all-time record for most Grand Slam singles titles with 24, a tally achieved across the amateur and Open eras. She also completed a calendar Grand Slam in 1970. Her game was built on a powerful serve, athletic volleying, and formidable physical presence. Court dominated on all surfaces, winning 11 Australian Opens, 5 French Opens, 5 US Opens, and 3 Wimbledon titles. Her overall record is staggering, with 64 total Grand Slam titles (singles, doubles, mixed), the most by any player. While her achievements in the Open Era (after 1968) are fewer than her amateur dominance, her sheer statistical supremacy and versatility ensure her place among the very greatest.
