The Grand Slams are the most important tournaments on the tennis season calendar. Not only because they award more points than any other tournament, but also because of their history and prestige. Thus, the champion of this tournament receives all these honors.
At JefeBet we bring you a list with the tennis players with the most Grand Slam titles in history.
The 5 tennis players with the most Grand Slam titles
Rafael Nadal
To begin with, the Spaniard Rafael Nadal is the player who currently occupies the first and undisputed position of tennis players with the most Grand Slam titles. With 22 titles, it seems that the tennis player will not give up yet and can win more tournaments. In fact, his last GS title was this year, at Roland Garros, not to mention that he also won the Australian Open.
Novak Djokovic
In second position is the Serbian Novak Djokovic. This tennis player is behind Nadal by only one title, having won 21 GS trophies. It would probably have been able to achieve more in recent years, had it not been for the situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Especially, because the tennis player could not play the Australian Open and possibly will not be able to play the US Open because he is not vaccinated.
Roger Federer
Next up is Switzerland’s Roger Federer. This graceful, stylish and shrewd player has a total of 20 Grand Slam trophies. Along with the other two, he has been called the greatest tennis player of all time. This is one of the most recognized Grand Slam champions in the world, and also one of the most loved.
Roy Emerson
In second to last place, we have the Australian Roy Emerson. This tennis player accumulated 12 Grand Slam tournament victories, and he also won 16 Grand Slam titles in the doubles category, giving him a total of 28 trophies. In addition, former player Roy Emerson is the only male tennis player to have completed the career Grand Slam in both singles and doubles.
Rod Laver
Finally, we have another Australian player, Rod Laver, after whom the center court of the Australian Open was named. Rod Laver was world No. 1 from 1964 to 1969. Not only did he win 11 Grand Slam titles, he also reached a total of 198 singles titles. He also holds the record of winning 10 or more titles for seven consecutive years.
