List: Top Ten Female Tennis Players by Number of Grand Slam Titles
Date: as of June 2005
Source: Sporting Legends
Base: All female tennis players to have won a grand slam title.
Notes: Margaret Smith Court was the first woman to win a grand slam in the 'open era' in 1970. Steffi Graf is the only player to win all four slam events four times. Anna Kournikova doesn't make the list as she never won any title which is a shame as we wanted to post a gratuitous sexy shot of her doing something vaguely athletic. Guess we need a different top ten...
