5. Bjorn Borg (11 Titles)

Bjorn Borg was cool, calm and collective throughout his career. He built a reputation of determination and had a backhand that was extremely difficult to play against. Borg won 11 Grand Slam titles during his career and he built one of the greatest rivalries against John McEnroe.

Borg dominated at the French Open with six titles, and five at Wimbledon. He lost four US Open Finals and only played in the Australian Open once as a 17 year old in 1974 as it offered lower ranking points and cash prizes compared to the other Grand Slams.

4. Pete Sampras (14 Titles)

Pete Sampras had a serve-and-volley game that dominated his era and he had a habit of coming up clutch when it counted. Sampras was a specialist on grass courts and won Wimbledon seven times, the US Open five times and the Australian Open twice.

Sampras struggled on clay courts in comparison. His best finish achieved at the French Open was a semi-final appearance in 1996, his serve-and-volley game not effective on the slower clay court surface.

3. Roger Federer (20 Titles)

Roger Federer has won the third most Grand Slams of all time with 20 titles. He played the game with a legendary level of elegance, finesse and precision. He also had an unbelievable one-handed backhand and a serve-and-volley game that was both aggressive and difficult to counter.

Federer won Wimbledon eight times, the Australian Open six times, was a five-time US Open champion and won the French Open in 2009 to complete a Career Grand Slam and equal the then-record of 14 Grand Slam titles set by Pete Sampras.

2. Rafael Nadal (22 Titles)

Rafael Nadal is one of the greatest competitors in history and has shown an extreme level of mental endurance across his career. Nadal has won 22 Grand Slam titles, the second most Grand Slams in history, and is the undisputed best clay court player in history.

There are many reasons why he was so good on clay and his high and heavy-spin forehand was much more suited to the slower pace and higher bounce of clay surfaces. He won an unprecedented 14 French Open titles, the Australian Open and Wimbledon three times and the US Open twice.

1. Novak Djokovic (23 Titles)

Novak Djokovic has the most tennis grand slams in history with 23 titles. The Serbian superstar is the best tennis player of all time and won his first Grand Slam with the Australian Open in 2008 at age 20.

With an unprecedented 10 Australian Open wins, 7 Wimbledon titles, 3 US Open and 3 French Open crowns, he’s forged a legacy as a relentless competitor who is known for his precision, power, finesse and longevity.

In 2016 Djokovic accomplished a Career Grand Slam by winning his first French Open title, and he was one win away from winning the Calendar Year Grand Slam in 2021 but lost to Daniil Medvedev in a stunning upset at the US Open. Djokovic won his 23rd Grand Slam at the French Open in 2023 to take the outright record ahead of Rafael Nadal.
