Women

• Margaret Smith Court of Australia holds the record for most Grand Slam singles titles by any person, with 24 (11 in the open era).
• Court and Steffi Graf are the only females to have won a calendar year Grand Slam in the open era. Graf also won the Olympic gold medal the year she won the Grand Slam (1988), making her the only player ever to have won the Golden Slam. Court actually won a record six consecutive Grand Slam singles tournaments in that she also won the last Grand Slam event of 1969 (U.S. Open), then all four titles in 1970, and then the first Grand Slam tournament of 1971 (Australian Open). Martina Navratilova shares this unique record as she won the last three Grand Slam tournaments of 1983 and the first three of 1984. Graf also won six consecutive Grand Slams that she played (French Open 1995 - U.S. Open 1996); however, she did not play the 1996 Australian Open.
• Chris Evert of the United States holds the longest winning streak among all players on a single surface, with 125 consecutive clay court victories between August 1973 and May 1979. After losing 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(4) to Tracy Austin in the semifinals of the Italian Open, Evert did not lose again on clay until the 1981 French Open. Her eight-year record on that surface was 197-1. She won at least one of the four Grand Slam tournament singles titles for 13 consecutive years, beginning with the 1974 French Open and ending with the 1986 French Open. This is an open era record. Evert's career record of 1,309 wins and 146 losses gives her the best winning percentage (.900) in the open era, male or female.
• When Graf won the 1995 U.S. Open singles title, she became the first and so far the only player, male or female, to win four titles at each of the Grand Slam tournaments.
• Graf became the first woman in the open era to lose in the first round of a Grand Slam tournament as a defending champion, at Wimbledon in 1994. Three more Grand Slam champions followed her:
  • Jennifer Capriati (U.S.) in the 2003 Australian Open.
  • Anastasia Myskina (Russia) in the 2005 French Open.
  • Svetlana Kuznetsova (Russia) in the 2005 U.S. Open.
• Both Court and Navratilova have won career "boxed sets" of Grand Slam titles — singles, same-sex doubles, and mixed doubles at each Grand Slam event — in the open era. Doris Hart was the only other player to have accomplished this feat. Uniquely, Court completed a boxed set prior to the start of the open era and then completed another boxed set after the start of the open era.
• 2005
  • Lindsay Davenport created history at Indian Wells. As the top seed (and world No. 1), she inflicted a double bagel on then world No. 3 Maria Sharapova in a semifinal. It was the second time in the open era that a player ranked in the top three had been double-bageled. Chris Evert, then ranked No. 1 in the world, beat No. 3 ranked Navratilova 6-0, 6-0 in the final of a clay court tournament in Amelia Island, Florida in 1981.
  • Davenport became the first female player to notch 50 wins at the Australian Open during the open era.
  • Maria Sharapova became the first Russian woman to reach the number one spot in the rankings, holding it for seven non-consecutive weeks.
• 2006
  • The 2006 Australian Open final between Amelie Mauresmo and Henin marked the first time in the open era that a Grand Slam women's singles final (and just the second Grand Slam singles final) was won when a competitor retired.
