Monica Seles won 8 majors representing Yugoslavia. Serbia should only have 13, 12 for Djokovic and 1 for Ivanovic. If Serbia gets 20 then the Czech Republic should get 19 from Novtona, Korda and Kvitova in addition to Kodes, Lendl and Mandlikova.

The country Seles represented was Serbia and Montenegro, or alternately FR Yugoslavia. In any case, it's complicated and it doesn't matter since the list doesn't change either way.

Not correct. It was Yugoslavia with all republics until late 1991 so not all Seles titles should count plus Seles was never citizen of Serbia.

ivanb22 Seles was citizen of Serbia, but also Yugoslavia. Every citizen of Yugoslavia had citizenship of one of the republics he/she lived in.

This is true, she was born in Novy Sad, Serbia but, nonetheless, the main point here is that there were 8 titles won as a Serbian/Yugoslavian, not 9. Seles won her 9th and final Slam at the 1996 Australian Open, by which time she represented the USA (she also played on the winning Us Fed Cup teams in ‘96, ‘99 and ‘00. So, as of today, Serbias number should be 31 (22 for Djokovic, 1 for Ivanovic and 8 for Seles). This also means the US gets one more (they can also keep Navratilova’s, since she switched allegiance in 1975 and won her first slam at Wimbledon in 1978).

I think you are right (with Djokovic now being on 24), but there is Ana's 1 and the 8 of Seles, so the total now should be 33. Does not change anything in the grand scheme of things.

I dont know how they got 35, unless they are counting Monica's 9th which was as a US player and maybe Mima's in 1977, but that is OG Yugoslavia.

Interesting how by default women are considered part of the stats for tennis, but they are not for some other sports.

Well, it counts for *these* stats. In my opinion, total majors by country is just an interesting way to slice the overall data; never remember anyone really talking about it this way. It seems that it's only when discussing total Olympic medals won by each country do the male/female totals get counted together.

Maybe because sports like tennis, croquet... were considered competitive for women way earlier than the vast majority of other sports.

Mainly to do with the competitiveness. The problem with many female sports is that there isn't much interest in doing them due to low prize money so there's only a few players/teams in the world that take it seriously, a good example of this is women's football (soccer) where USA dominates due to being one of the only national sides made up of full-time professionals in comparison to a team like England (who finished 3rd in the last World Cup) where many of the players have day jobs. In women's tennis though you need to dedicate your life to the game to have any chance of winning a major, which makes it more competitive and so harder to win.

This is a ridiculous excuse I hear Europeans use all the time. There are countries competing in the Women's World Cup from all over the world. It's more internationally competitive as a women's sport than any other. Just because you suck at it or your country doesn't do a good job of supporting its female athletes in this sport doesn't make it less competitive. Nor does the fact that the #1 team in the world is so dominant and has been for decades, as there is still heated competition for 2nd place and below. But it's not even as if they never lose; they do. Imagine how competitive these other teams would have to be to go up against such a dominant squad and still win from time to time. There are many more countries where football is popular than tennis, and they come from every continent other than Antarctica.

A true statement might be that men's and women's tennis are more similar in their level of popularity than men's and women's soccer or men's and women's basketball and some other sports. But it's inaccurate to say that women's tennis is more competitive than women's football.

I thought sport held no interest for you. Anyhow, women's tennis is much more established and has a more established viewership. All manner of people are interested in watching tennis and yet still hold no interest in team sports like Association Football etc.

I rarely watch and don't know much trivia because I'm not emotionally invested in the outcome of events and don't care much about statistics. My interest in sports is anthropological; I don't find spectating them entertaining. The average sports quiz is tuned toward sports fanatics, though, meaning I can't do well on them.

Me thinks it’s because Tennis is mostly an individual sport and also one that’s been played professionally by women for a looong time.

Mmh, Roger has 20, Stan 3, Martina Hingis 5. So without Roger, 8 is still a good result, as much as the UK, more than France, Argentina or Croatia! Anyway Switzerland has 28, not 29.

I believe the answer to that is 4: Without looking it up, I wanna say Cliff Thorburn (Canada 1980) Ken Doherty (Republic of Ireland - 1997), Neil Robertson (Australia - 2010) and most recent World Champ as of writing this: Luca Brecel (Belgium 2023).

I was surprised, too, that there was no England/UK. But then I saw, it counts only from 1968. In total, England would be on 3rd place, but counting only the Open era, they don't even make the Top Ten. Similar with France: They would be in the top 5, if all-time history was counted.

By country clues do you mean... the caveat at the top that says one of these countries no longer exists? Or are the clues in the names of the players? I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I'm not seeing how Russia gets to 14. Sharapova won 5. Kuznetsova 2, so 7. Myskina won 1, that's 8. Safin won 2, that's 10. Kafelnikov also won 2, that's 12. Medvedev has won 1. So that's 13. Where is the 14th?
