Djokovic has won a record 10 Australian Open titles, seven Wimbledons, three United States Open championships, and two French Opens. On the women’s side, Margaret Court of Australia has won 24 grand slam singles titles. She is followed by Serena Williams of the United States with 23 and Steffi Graf of Germany with 22.
