[edit] Most Grand Slam singles titles (at least 6)

The following tables show the win-loss records in Grand Slam singles finals for each person who won at least six Grand Slam singles titles during his or her career.

These tables are a mere indication of greatness as certain factors have skewed the statistics, favoring some players over others. For example, Roy Emerson's titles were won against amateurs while the best players of his time, including Rod Laver, were professional and, therefore, not allowed to play in Grand Slam events. Also, in the early years, many players did not have the funds or inclination to make long overseas trips to play. For example, Margaret Osborne duPont never played in Australia. World War II also cut short the careers of many, including Don Budge.

Ivan Lendl is the only male player on the list who lost more Grand Slam singles finals than he won.

In the following tables:

    "NP" means that the person never played in that particular Grand Slam event.
    "AU" means the Australian Open or the Australian Championships.
    "WB" means Wimbledon.
    "FR" means the French Open, the French Championships, or the World Hard Court Championships.
    "US" means the United States Open or the United States Championships.

1The World Hard Court Championships (WHCC), the official clay court world championships, were held in Paris (except for one year in Brussells) beginning in 1912 and lasting through 1923. Unlike the pre-1925 French Championships, the WHCC was open to all nationalities. Therefore, the WHCC is the true forerunner of the open-to-all-nationalities French Championships that began in 1925. For purposes of determining the total number of Grand Slam titles won, the WHCC is used for 1914 and 1920 through 1923 instead of the closed-to-foreigners French Championships for those years.
