Male tennis players with the most Grand Slam wins 2024
As of July 2024, Novak Djokovic held the record for the most men's tennis Grand Slam titles, with a total of 24. Djokovic lifted his 24th Grand Slam trophy at the US Open in 2023, pulling further away from Rafael Nadal's previous record of 22.
What is a Grand Slam?
The Grand Slam tournaments, also known as the majors, are the four most important annual tennis tournaments worldwide. The Australian Open (played on hard court) is the first major of the year, taking place in mid-January, followed by French Open (played on clay) in May/June. Wimbledon, the only of the four majors to be played on grass, takes place in June/July, and the Grand Slam season finishes with the US Open (hard court) played in August/September. The Serbian modern great Novak Djokovic is the male player with the most victories at the Australian Open, having lifted the trophy a record 10 times, including three times in a row between 2011 and 2013. Meanwhile, left-hander Rafael Nadal is the undisputed king of clay, having won the French Open Grand Slam a record 14 times, more than twice as many as the second player on the list, Björn Borg.
Roger Federer – a tennis great
When talking about modern tennis greats, one of the first names that springs to mind is Roger Federer. Having claimed his first Grand Slam win at Wimbledon in 2003, the Swiss player went on to lift the trophy a record eight times at the All England Club, making him the male tennis player with the most victories at Wimbledon. Federer’s enduring success is demonstrated by the fact that he spent a significant amount of time at the top of the ATP Rankings – a staggering 310 weeks, or the equivalent of almost six years. Given his success in Grand Slam tournaments and on the ATP Tour, where he won over 100 titles, putting him second on the list of tennis players with most titles won on the ATP Tour, it comes as no surprise that Federer made millions from his exploits on the court.
