Until now, the absolute record for the number of Grand Slams won was held by a single tennis player, Margaret Court. Since Sunday September 10, we can add Novak Djokovic. By winning the US Open final against Russian Daniil Medvedev, the Serbian now has 24 Grand Slam titles, equaling the record held by an Australian tennis player (between 1960 and 1973).
Holder of the absolute record among men since his victory at Roland-Garros in June, he now takes a comfortable lead over Rafael Nadal (22 titles). With Roger Federer (20 titles), these three players have dominated world tennis for twenty years, leaving only crumbs to their challengers. Their hegemony is impressive: since Federer’s first victory in 2003, these three have accumulated 66 Grand Slam tournament victories over 83 editions – three tournaments having been canceled during the Covid-19 pandemic. Each of them crushed Pete Sampras’ previous record of 14 major tournaments won in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Novak Djokovic passes Rafael Nadal in 2023
These curves present the number of cumulative Grand Slam titles won by player from 2003 to 2023.
Select a name in the legend to highlight each player’s lines, or directly on the graph.
Novak Djokovic (2008-)
Rafael Nadal (2005-)
Roger Federer (2003-2022)
Carlos Alcaraz (2022-)
Andy Murray (2012-)
Stanislas Wawrinka (2014-)
Roger Federer (41 years old) retired in 2022, but Rafael Nadal (37 years old) and Novak Djokovic (36 years old) continue their race towards the unprecedented. In July, the Serbian fell in the Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz, missing out on his dream of achieving the Grand Slam in a single year. With his victories in Melbourne, Paris and New York this year, the London final left him with a bitter taste. No man since Australian Rod Laver in 1969 has lifted all four major tennis trophies in the same year.
