williams has been ranked world no. 1 by the women's tennis association on three occasions, for a total of 11 weeks. she first reached the no. 1 ranking on february 25, 2002, the first african american woman to do so in the open era, and the second all time since althea gibson. williams' seven grand slam singles titles are tied for 12th on the all-time list, and 8th on the open era list, more than any other active female player except her sister. she has reached 16 grand slam finals, most recently at wimbledon in 2017. she has also won 14 grand slam women's doubles titles, all with serena williams; the pair is unbeaten in grand slam doubles finals. williams also has two mixed doubles titles. her five wimbledon singles titles tie her with two other women for eighth place on the all-time list, but gives her sole possession of no. 4 on the open era list, trailing only the nine titles of martina navratilova and the seven of serena williams and steffi graf. from the 2000 wimbledon championships to the 2001 us open, williams won four of the six grand slam singles tournaments in that span. at the 2019 wimbledon championships, williams extended her record as the all-time leader, male or female, in grand slams played, with 83. with her run to the 2017 wimbledon singles final, she broke the record for longest time between first and most recent grand slam singles finals appearances.

notable features of graf's game were her versatility across all playing surfaces, footwork and powerful forehand drive. graf's athletic ability and aggressive game played from the baseline have been credited with developing the modern style of play that has come to dominate today's game. she won six french open singles titles (second to evert), seven wimbledon singles titles, four australian open titles, and five u.s. open singles titles. she is the only singles player (male or female) to have achieved a grand slam since hard court was introduced as a surface at the us open in 1978. consequently, graf's grand slam was achieved on grass, clay, and hard court while the previous five grand slams were decided on only grass and clay. graf reached thirteen consecutive major singles finals, from the 1987 french open through to the 1990 french open, winning nine of them. she won 5 consecutive major singles tournaments (1988 australian open to 1989 australian open), and seven out of eight, in two calendar years (1988 australian open to 1989 us open, except 1989 french open). she reached a total of 31 major singles finals.
