We save the best for last -- Silverware! Navratilova's expansive trophy cabinet is probably larger than that of any other athlete in sport, let alone tennis. Navratilova managed to win 167 Singles titles in her career. Only 2 other women (Chris Evert and Steffi Graf) have managed to cross the century mark.

Now, coming to Doubles, Navratilova won a record 177 titles including an all-time record of 31 Grand Slam Doubles titles. The next best is Rosemary Casals who won 112 titles.

In Mixed Doubles, Navratilova again tops the list with 10 titles. Her combined title tally across all 3 categories is 354 -- that is more 2 times greater than the next best, Billie Jean King, who aggregated 175 title wins.

There probably isn't a single tournament that has not been won by Navratilova across all 3 categories. Her will to win was second to none and this is best exemplified by her Mixed Doubles victory at the 2006 US Open, just a few weeks short of her 50th birthday.
