Which Tennis Player Holds the Record of the Most Runners Up at Grand Slam Events Including All Titles?
Margaret Court is the tennis player with the most runner-up finishes at Grand Slam events, with 25. Of these, 11 were in singles, 13 in women's doubles, and one in mixed doubles. She also holds the record for the most Grand Slam titles overall, with 24 singles, 19 women's doubles, and 20 mixed doubles.
Court's 25 runner-up finishes came between 1960 and 1977. She was runner-up in the singles event at the Australian Open five times, the French Open four times, Wimbledon three times, and the US Open four times. In women's doubles, she was runner-up at the Australian Open seven times, the French Open once, Wimbledon five times, and the US Open five times. In mixed doubles, she was runner-up at the French Open once.
Court's record is unlikely to be broken anytime soon. Serena Williams is the only active player with more than 10 Grand Slam runner-up finishes, but she is still 15 behind Court.
