With the caveat that there still may be more to come from her this fall, Serena Williams has put a dazzling array of achievements into her sport’s record books.
She has won 23 Grand Slam singles events, ranging from 1999 when she was 17, to 2017. They included seven Australian Opens, three French Opens, seven Wimbledons, and six U.S. Opens. She also has 10 further appearances in Grand Slam singles finals.
The total is one short of the record of 24, set by Margaret Court, although about half of those wins came in the pre-1968 amateur era.
Williams has won 14 Grand Slam women’s doubles events, all of them with her sister, Venus. The pair never lost in a Grand Slam final. Serena also has two Grand Slams in mixed doubles with Max Mirnyi.
Williams has also participated in four Olympics, winning the singles gold medal in London in 2012 and the doubles with Venus three times.
Although she and her sister tended to play a lighter schedule than many players and prioritized the Grand Slams, she has 73 WTA titles in total, ranking her fifth all-time.
Although her wins have been fewer in recent years, she remains a huge attraction to sponsors. Forbes reported that from May 2021 to May 2022, she earned $45 million, only $300,000 of that on the court, ranking her 31st of all athletes and second among women behind Naomi Osaka.
