Women's Tennis: 5 players with the most Australian Open titles

# Margaret Court Smith - 11 titles

Margaret Court

Fittingly, the list is headed by an Australian woman and the most successful Grand Slam champion of all-time - Margaret Court. Court's numbers are staggering and are unrivaled in many ways - like for example her feat of winning 192 Singles titles overall and also winning the Calendar Slam in both Singles and Mixed Doubles.

Court was dubbed 'The Aussie Amazon' on account of her rigorous physical training regimen which involved her making long runs on sandy hillsides. Her supreme physical fitness was a key part in her sustaining the juggernaut of winning trophies for so many years. In fact, she was the first woman to win the Australian Open post childbirth.

Court's success at the Australian Open is unrivaled in Singles and Doubles. In Singles, she won 11 titles overall (7 in the Amateur Era and 4 in the Open Era) including on 7 consecutive occasions - another all-time record between 1960 and 1966 inclusive.

In addition to this, she also won 8 Doubles titles and 4 Mixed Doubles titles at the Australian Open.
