Serena Williams Grand Slams: The Full Count and Record

The full count of Serena Williams grand slams reaches 39 major trophies across three formats of the sport. Serena Williams grand slams come from singles, doubles, and mixed doubles, and the splits matter when the record gets argued.

The singles ledger holds 23 majors, the most by any woman in the Open Era, per the tour record. The doubles ledger holds 14 majors won with her sister Venus. The mixed ledger adds two more pairs from 1998. Together they make one of the largest major collections in the modern record.

The Singles Count, Event by Event

The singles number is the heart of the file. The singles share of Serena Williams grand slams holds 23 majors, won across her two-decade tour career, per the official tour tally.

The event split reads as follows. She took the Australian Open seven times. She then won Wimbledon seven times. Her US Open count stands at six, and the French Open brings three, per the same record.

The first of Serena Williams grand slams arrived in 1999. She won the 1999 US Open singles title as a young tour player, and the run started from there.

Her clearest dominance came twice. From the 2002 French Open to the 2003 Australian Open she won all four majors in a row. Each title came in a final against Venus, and the run earned the nickname the Serena Slam, per the record. She repeated the four-in-a-row feat from 2014 to 2015 for a second Serena Slam.

The final major sealed the Open Era mark. Serena Williams moved past Steffi Graf's Open Era line at the 2017 Australian Open, per the same record. Her 23rd major singles title completed that climb.

The Doubles Record With Venus

The doubles file belongs to one partnership. Serena Williams won 14 major doubles titles, and every one came with her sister Venus, per the tour record.

The partnership never lost a major final. The sisters' unbeaten streak in major doubles finals stands as the best mark in the sport, per the same record. No other discipline shows a deeper run in major finals.

The pair also completed a joint four-major run. Their non-calendar Grand Slam moved from the 2009 Wimbledon Championships to the 2010 French Open, per the record.

The doubles ledger adds tour-level weight too. Serena Williams grand slams reach their full 39-trophy shape once the doubles majors join the count, per the same record.

The Mixed Doubles Pair

Two more majors came in mixed doubles. Serena Williams won two mixed doubles majors, and both landed in 1998, per the same record.

The wins came at Wimbledon and the US Open that season. They complete the mixed share of Serena Williams grand slams. The two pairs also arrived before her singles dominance started, which makes them the earliest majors in her collection. Mixed doubles never returned to her schedule once the singles ledger began its climb, per the same record.

The Olympic Golds and Golden Slams

The majors do not stand alone in her file. Serena Williams won four Olympic gold medals, one in singles and three in doubles, per the record.

The singles gold arrived in 2012. It completed her Career Golden Slam in singles, per the same record. The doubles golds came in 2000, 2008, and 2012, with Venus alongside for two of them.

Olympic gold does not raise the majors count. It still raises the standings. She is the only player to complete a Career Golden Slam in both singles and doubles, per the same record. She is also the only player, male or female, to complete three career Golden Slams.

Where 23 Sits in the All-Time Record

The number owns the Open Era. Serena Williams grand slams in singles number 23. That total is the most in the Open Era and the second-most of all time, per the tour record.

The all-time mark above her belongs to Margaret Court, whose 24 majors came mostly before the Open Era began. Steffi Graf's 22 majors sit below both, per the record books.

That gap of one defines the chase. Serena Williams grand slams in singles stayed at 23 through her career. The count also stayed four short of Court's line through her years away from the tour, per the same record.

The Open Era framing matters here. The era began when professionalism opened to all players, and the modern record book splits its counts across that line. Serena Williams grand slams own the modern era in singles, while Court's 24 keeps the all-time column, per the same framing. Her comeback window runs in doubles only, so no singles change is expected from the return.

A 2026 return also puts Serena Williams grand slams back on the entry lists, in doubles form, per the tour coverage.

The 2026 Comeback Status

The comeback began with an announcement on June 1, 2026. Serena Williams took a wild card to play doubles at the HSBC Championships, per the announcement coverage. That event runs at the 500 level from Queen's Club in London.

The comeback adds a modern chapter without touching the tallies. Serena Williams grand slams remain frozen at 39 unless she wins a doubles major in the comeback window, per the same coverage.

"Queen's Club feels like the perfect place to begin this next chapter," she said in the announcement, per the press record.

The return came after nearly four years away from competition. Her comeback moved through the grass summer and on toward the 2026 US Open, per the press record. She then described the comeback as nothing long-term in September 2026, in another press note.

The announcement had its own color. Nike teased her return with a 17-second video clip, per the press coverage. Its caption read "Guess everybody heard the news" ahead of the reveal. The WTA chair, Valerie Camillo, called her return an expression of her passion for competition, per the same coverage.

Her career totals frame the return. Serena Williams holds more than 73 WTA tour-level singles titles, spent 319 weeks at world No. 1, and earned over 94 million dollars in prize money, per the same coverage.
