Who Has the Most Tennis Titles?

A comprehensive list of the men and women who have won the most tennis titles in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles.

Roger Federer

Roger Federer has the most tennis titles of any player in history. He has won 20 Grand Slam singles titles, which is more than any other man. He has also been ranked number one in the world for a record 310 weeks. Federer has not only won the most titles, but he has also been the most consistent player over the last two decades.

Grand Slam Titles

Roger Federer has won a record 20 grand slam titles – the most in history. He has won six Australian Opens, one French Open, Wimbledon a record eight times and five US Opens.

ATP Titles

Roger Federer is a Swiss professional tennis player who is currently ranked world No. 3 in men’s singles tennis by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). He has won 20 Grand Slam singles titles—the most in history for a male player—and has held the world No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings for a record 310 weeks.

Federer’s victories at Wimbledon, the Australian Open, and US Open have made him one of only seven men to capture all four major singles titles, known as the “Career Grand Slam”, and one of only three (with Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi) to do so on three different surfaces (hard court, grass, and clay). Additionally, he is one of only eight men five-time finalists at all four majors. Furthermore, he has reached a record 30 men’s singles Grand Slam finals, including 10 consecutively from the 2005 Wimbledon Championships through to the 2007 US Open. In majors, Federer has won a record six ATP Finals and emerged victorious from 15 ATP Tour Masters 1000 tournaments, both marks being all-time records.

Federer’s all-court game and versatile style of play involve exceptional footwork along with great hand-eye coordination and excellent shot anticipation skills, which enable him to compensate for a comparatively average serve. His main strengths on court are his precise and powerful groundstrokes from both forehand and backhand sides which have earned him praise as one of the best ever exponents of tennis’ classic offensive baseline game. He also possesses very solid volleying technique at the net which matches up well with his tall frame allowing him to play an aggressive net game when necessary.

Novak Djokovic

Djokovic has won 17 Grand Slam singles titles, the fourth most in history, and 77 ATP Tour singles titles, the second most in history. He is the only player in the open era to have won all nine of the ATP Tour Masters 1000 tournaments.

Djokovic has won 16 Grand Slam singles titles, 5 ATP Finals titles, 35 Masters 1000 series titles, 14 ATP Tour 500 series titles, and has held the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings for more than 280 weeks. In majors, Djokovic has won a record 7 Australian Open titles, 5 Wimbledon titles (tied for second most all-time with Björn Borg), 3 US Open titles (tied for third most all-time with Jimmy Connors and Pete Sampras), and one French Open title. He is the only male player in tennis history to have won all nine of the ATP Tour Masters 1000 tournaments, and he did so in consecutive seasons (2015–16).
