She won 22 Grand Slam singles titles. In 1988, she became the first player to achieve the "Golden Slam" – capturing all four Grand Slam titles and the Olympic Gold Medal in the same year. She was ranked the Women's Tennis Association's No. 1 player for a record 377 weeks and is the only player, male or female, to have won all four Grand Slam tournaments (Wimbledon and the Australian, French and United States opens) at least four times apiece.
