Early discussions about the women’s draw initially focused on the WTA’s ‘Big Four’, but it was the 31st seed Barbora Krejcikova who emerged as the surprise champion.
Having previously triumphed at the French Open, the Czech athlete has now achieved the remarkable feat of winning major singles titles on multiple playing surfaces. This accomplishment places her among a select group of only 14 women to achieve such a milestone in this century.
Serena Williams is unsurprisingly a prominent figure on this list, having claimed 22 of her 23 major singles titles since 2000. Her legacy includes seven Wimbledon titles, starting from her maiden victory in 2002 to her last triumph in 2016. Additionally, she boasts seven Australian Open championships and five US Open crowns, alongside three victories at Roland Garros on clay.
Following in her sister’s footsteps, former world No. 1 Venus Williams made significant waves in the early 2000s. She found much success on the grass courts of Wimbledon, clinching the title five times between 2000 and 2008. Venus also secured two US Open titles in 2000 and 2001.
Jennifer Capriati, another former world No. 1, secured her three major titles across two tournaments and different surfaces. She achieved consecutive victories at the Australian Open and French Open in 2001, followed by a successful title defense in Melbourne a year later.
Justine Henin, regarded as one of the century’s premier players and Belgium’s greatest, captured three of the four major championships during her illustrious career.
