Margaret Court career statistics
This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2010) |
This is a list of the main career statistics of Australian former tennis player Margaret Court. She won 64 Grand Slam events (24 singles, 19 doubles, 21 mixed doubles), which is a record for a male or female player. Her 24 Grand Slam singles titles and 21 in mixed doubles are also all-time records for both sexes. She achieved a career Grand Slam in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. She is one of three women to have achieved the calendar year Grand Slam in singles (alongside Steffi Graf and Maureen Connolly), and is the only woman to have achieved the mixed doubles Grand Slam, which she did twice.
Court won more than half of the Grand Slam singles tournaments she played (24 of 47). She won 192 singles titles before and after the Open Era, an all-time record.[1] Her career singles win-loss record was 1,177–106, for a winning percentage of 91.74 percent on all surfaces (hard, clay, grass, carpet), is also an all-time record. She won at least 100 singles matches in 1965 (113–8), 1968 (107–12), 1969 (104–6),[2] 1970 (110–6),[3] and 1973 (108–6).[4] She won more than 80 percent of her singles matches against top 10 players (297–73) and was the year-end top ranked player seven times.

Note: The shared mixed doubles titles at the Australian Championships/Open in 1965 and 1969 are not always counted in Court's Grand Slam win total because the finals were never played. The Australian Open does officially count them as joint victories.[5] Otherwise, she would have 21 Grand Slam mixed doubles titles, which is reflected in the above table.

Federation Cup
[edit]Court played in the then-named Federation Cup since its inception in 1963,[8] and then played again in 1964 and 1965. She returned to the tournament after her temporary retirement, and played again with the Australian Fed Cup team in 1968, 1969 and finally in December 1970. Of the six years she played, the Australian team won in four: 1964, 1965, 1968 and December 1970. She accumulated a total of 35 wins over her career, which ties with Evonne Goolagong Cawley and Dianne Balestrat as the third-most ever from an Australian. She holds a perfect 20–0 singles record, a near-perfect 40–1 singles set record, tying with Kerry Reid as the best-ever from an Australian. Her doubles record of 15–5 is the fifth-highest of an Australian.
