Most Grand Slam Titles

At the top of the men’s list for most Grand Slam singles titles won stands Novak Djokovic, with 24 majors, the all-time men’s record. Djokovic’s Grand Slam title story began at the Australian Open 2008, where he defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and reached its latest trophy milestone at the US Open 2023, where he beat Daniil Medvedev to move to 24. Djokovic’s total is built across all four majors: 10 Australian Opens, 3 Roland Garros titles, 7 Wimbledons and 4 US Opens.

Behind him stands Rafael Nadal, with 22 Grand Slam titles, including the all-time record 14 Roland Garros titles. Nadal’s first major came at Roland Garros 2005, against Mariano Puerta, and his final Grand Slam title came again in Paris at Roland Garros 2022, against Casper Ruud.

Roger Federer is third with 20 Grand Slam titles. His first came at Wimbledon 2003, against Mark Philippoussis, while his last major title came at the Australian Open 2018, where he defeated Marin Cilic. Federer’s total includes a men’s record eight Wimbledon titles, plus six Australian Opens, five US Opens and one Roland Garros.

Then comes Pete Sampras, with 14 Grand Slam titles, the benchmark of the pre-Big Three era. His first major came at the US Open 1990, against Andre Agassi, and his final title also came against Agassi at the US Open 2002.

In this record, the trophy is the ultimate milestone: winning one Grand Slam defines a career, reaching double figures puts a player among the legends, and crossing 20 has been achieved only by Djokovic, Nadal and Federer. Djokovic set the ceiling at 24, Nadal pushed clay-court dominance to historic extremes, and Federer opened the modern 20-major era that changed the scale of greatness in men’s tennis.
