Steffi Graf won 22 Grand Slam singles titles. Her first was the 1987 French Open and her last was the 1999 French open. She racked up 4 Australian Open titles, 6 French Open titles, 7 Wimbledon championships, and 5 US Open titles. In 1988, Steffi won all four Grand Slam tournaments.
Serena Williams is ranked number one, and is the player to have won the most grand slams on the WTA tour at the moment. So, in my opinion, she is the best. But, Steffi Graf (a retired player) has won many more grand slams than Serena.
Margaret Smith Court won 24 Grand Slam singles titles: 11 Australian Opens, 5 French Opens, 5 U.S. Opens, and 3 Wimbledon. She also won 19 Grand Slam doubles titles and 21 Grand Slam mixed doubles titles.
According to the rules laid down by the International Tennis Federation, the playing area of a tennis court is 78 feet long and 36 feet wide (for doubles), which gives it a perimeter of 228 feet.
The WTA is the "Women's Tennis Association", it was started in 1973. The main person behind the WTA was Billie Jean King.
The winner of Wimbledon in 1985 was Boris Becker. The women's winner was Martina Navratilova.
yes, Serena Williams speaks french fluently. I've seen her at the 2003 roland garros, after beating venus, she answered the french reporter's questions in french. she also said it herself last night at late night with jimmy fallon.
ya...she's 6 feet 1 inch taller than the tallest kid at my school
Chris Evert (Evert-Lloyd as she was known at the time) was named the WTA's player of the year in 1981, a year she won Wimbledon and remained the year-end world number one.
International Tennis regulations state that players on men's doubles teams must wear the same colored clothing to identify themselves as teammates. These regulations make no mention of women, specifically.
If someone loses a set 6-0, they are said to have been 'bageled', and if they lose a match 6-0 6-0, it's a double bagel. I don't know if anyone has ever lost 6-0 6-0 6-0 in a Grand Slam but it's worth looking up!
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal
Of course! Venus Williams, Serena Williams...and probably other people but they're the only ones I know of who won both in one tennis major.
Men play a maximum of 5 sets and Women play a maximum of 3 sets. Obviously in mens they play 3 sets only if one player wins all of the first 3 sets as the opponent can't come back with 2 sets left. Women play 2 at minimum for the same reason.
