Insights

Dominant across 44 Slams, with a 93% match win rate

Across 44 tournaments and 284 matches, Court compiled a 264-20 record, which the data lists as 93% won. That combination of volume and efficiency is the clearest summary of her Grand Slam profile.

Peak Open Era run: 11 titles in just six seasons

In the Open Era, her best results include 11 championships, plus one final and four semifinals. Those titles came between 1968 and 1973, showing sustained top-end production rather than a single spike.

Amateur-era dominance was even larger: 13 titles before the Open Era

Her Amateur Era line is 13 championships, four finals, and three semifinals. That total exceeds her Open Era title count, and it shows she was already producing major results before 1968.

1970-73 was her most concentrated title stretch

From 1970 through 1973, she won 13 of the 16 Slam events listed in those four seasons. The only non-title results in that span were Wimbledon semifinals in 1973 and 1975, plus a 1971 French Open round-of-16 loss.

Her results stayed elite into her early 30s, then dropped sharply in 1975

She won the 1973 US Open at age 31 and reached the Wimbledon semifinal that same year at 30. By 1975, however, her results were a Wimbledon semifinal at 32 and quarterfinal exits at the Australian Open and US Open.
