Most titles in a year
In 1965, Margaret Court won a record nine titles out of twelve available to a player in the same year: the singles, doubles and mixed doubles at all four Grand Slam tournaments. In 1985, Martina Navratilova reached the final in all Grand Slam events held that year, equaling the record of eleven final appearances set by Court in 1963 and repeated a year later.
Twelve unique players (nine women and three men) have won at least six major championships in one calendar year.

Triple Crown The Triple Crown refers to winning the singles, doubles, and mixed doubles titles at one event, in the same week. This has become an increasingly rare accomplishment in the sport, partly because the final matches in all three disciplines often likely take place concurrently in the same day, and not in separate days. Doris Hart for example attained her first Triple Crown after playing three Wimbledon final matches held on a single day.
Notes: This list excludes the 1909 Triple Crown of Jeanne Matthey at the French Championships and the 1920, 1921, 1922 and 1923 Triple Crown wins of Suzanne Lenglen at the French Championships. The French Championship tennis tournament at the time was a domestic competition not recognized as an international major. At the time, the major clay court event (actual precursor of the French Open in its current international format) was the World Hard Court Championships, where Suzanne Lenglen also attained a Triple Crown in 1921 and 1922. Also the 1941 triple championship of Alice Weiwers isn't listed due to its disputed official status: French major championships held in Vichy France from 1941 to 1945 aren't currently recognized by the Fédération Française de Tennis.
