That is the nature of all the rankings, tennis first names, best players, grand slam singles ,doubles , most grand slam singles and doubles, and many other categories that had been invented and provided to measure the abilities and talents of sportsmen and sportswomen.
Tennis all time records are the ones that will always be those discovering the unusual talents of ordinary people, making them extraordinary in a way, and making them the heroes that had devoted all their lives to sport and sport lovers, who were watching them and got amazed at their achievements.
Most grand slam singles are the tennis players who had been the best and most numerous in winning grand slams of different world championships. The most grand slam single within men was Pete Sampras, who had won different grand slams for fourteen times. In his time he had been called the king of swing, the true champion and got this name after numerous brilliant victories over such tennis player, as Ivenishevic and Andre Agassi.

Margaret Smith Ccourt was Australian and won 11 Australian Championships, five United States', five French and three Wimbledon ones.

It is quite impossible to get stronger and stronger, getting more and more grand slams, as each of them is taking away the small part of sportsmen's life.

Most grand slam doubles as well as most grand slam singles winners were John McEnroe winning 152 different titles, Martina Navratilova who got 341 titles, and many others.
As there were tennis players who played only single or double tournaments, meaning the games itself, were one against one or two against two, many tennis players preferred to play mixed tournaments, and statistics had counted even these games that had happened in different times with different players. That was Margaret Smith (Court) and Ken Fletcher 1963 in women's tournaments .
