Top four active women's singles players with most Grand Slam titles

45-year-old Venus Williams leads the list with the most Grand Slam titles.

Ever since the legendary Serena Williams retired, the WTA has seen multiple Grand Slam champions, with very few players managing to dominate the women’s division. Wimbledon is a prime example of this.

Since 2016, when Serena Williams defended her crown, SW19 has witnessed eight winners lift their first-ever title at the grass-court Slam. In an era of such uncertainty and immense talent, only a handful of women have managed to stand tall and show their dominance.

On that note, let’s take a look at the top four active women’s singles tennis players with the most Grand Slam titles.

Active women’s singles players with most Grand Slam titles-

Aryna Sabalenka – 4

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka has been one of the most consistent players in the WTA, alongside Iga Swiatek. The Belarusian is certainly the best player on hard courts right now, and in 2025, she showed her skills on clay, hard courts and grass as well. While she has won several WTA titles, her Grand Slam count stands at four, despite playing seven finals.

Sabalenka will fondly recall her missed chances at the 2025 French Open and the 2023 US Open, when she was a set ahead against Coco Gauff in both cases. But emotions got the better of her, resulting in several unforced errors.

At the Australian Open 2025, she was aiming for a rare three-peat, but Madison Keys’ incredible outing denied the top seed. Her latest title came at the US Open 2025, where she avenged her loss to Amanda Anisimova in the Wimbledon semifinals earlier that year.

Naomi Osaka – 4

Naomi Osaka quickly established herself as the “Hard-court Queen,” dominating on the surface with four Grand Slam titles. She first broke through at the 2018 US Open, defeating Serena Williams in a tense, controversial final that marked her arrival on the world stage. She followed it up with a win at the 2019 Australian Open and a second US Open in 2020

The Japanese then claimed her fourth major at the 2021 Australian Open, defeating Jennifer Brady with commanding power and aggressive baseline play. However, after her 2021 triumph, Osaka’s performance sharply declined. She withdrew from Roland Garros that year, citing mental health struggles, and later skipped Wimbledon.

She spoke openly about anxiety and depression, and the intense media spotlight worsened her condition. Injuries and a lack of consistent match play led to early defeats and long absences from the tour. She is now back on the WTA Tour and recently reached the third round of the Wimbledon Championships.

Iga Swiatek – 6

Iga Swiatek earned the title of ‘Queen of Clay’ after defeating Jasmine Paolini to win her fourth Roland Garros crown in 2024, remarkably at just 23 years old. It all began in 2020 when she captured her maiden Grand Slam by triumphing against Sofia Kenin at the French Open. The Pole then defied expectations to clinch the US Open in 2022, beating Ons Jabeur in straight sets.

However, the biggest triumph of her career came at Wimbledon 2025. After nearly 13 months without a title, the eighth seed broke her grass-jinx, as she dropped just 35 games on her path to a maiden SW19 triumph, with a stunning 6-0 6-0 victory in the final over Amanda Anisimova. With the win, she extended her dominance in Grand Slam finals to 6-0.

Venus Williams – 7

Venus Williams has not yet retired from the game, and is therefore the player with the most Grand Slam wins until 2025. Much of her career was about her intense rivalry with her sister, Serena Williams. The two met nine times in Grand Slam finals, with the younger sister winning seven times.

Venus’ dominance on grass courts, especially at Wimbledon, defined her prime years. She won five titles at SW19 and defended her crown successfully on two occasions. She triumphed at Flushing Meadows in the same year when she won in London, much to the delight of the local crowd.

Though she hasn’t won a major since 2008, Venus remained a dangerous opponent well into her late career, reaching two more Slam finals in 2017 (Australian Open and Wimbledon). Her last match was in Miami in 2024, and she has not played any matches since then.

However, she has accepted a wildcard and is set to compete at the Washington Open, a WTA 500 event, starting on July 21.
