Focus on women's tennis: Which active player is closest to achieving a career Grand Slam?

I don't watch much WTA tennis, so I used AI to analyze WTA Grand Slam champions from 2015 to 2025 among active players. Please see if the AI's data looks correct.

WTA Grand Slam Titles Count for Active Players

In the above table, six players have won two or more Grand Slam titles: Świątek (6), Naomi Osaka (4), Sabalenka (4), Krejčíková, and Gauff.

ŚwiątekShe has won the French Open four times, and one title each at the US Open and Wimbledon, missing only the Australian Open. Undoubtedly, she is the closest to completing a career Grand Slam. However, in the recently concluded 2026 Australian Open quarterfinals, Rybakina defeated Świątek in straight sets. Therefore, a career Grand Slam in 2026 is no longer possible.

The Australian Open is the only Grand Slam she hasn't won; she lost in the semifinals twice (2022, 2025), and in 2026 was again stopped by Rybakina before the semifinals.

This record is linked to the current ATP world number one, Alcaraz. He also lacks only the Australian Open title for a career Grand Slam. But Alcaraz has already reached the semifinals, so hopes for 2026 remain.

Sabalenka and Naomi Osaka, ranked second and third respectively, share a similar situation with four Grand Slam titles each, all on hard courts — two Australian Opens and two US Opens. This shows a certain specialization.

SabalenkaHer best result at the French Open is runner-up in 2025, and at Wimbledon, she reached the semifinals twice. The French Open might be the first breakthrough, while Wimbledon remains more challenging.

Naomi OsakaSo far, she hasn't had notable results at the French Open or Wimbledon.

GauffCurrently, she has one title each at the US Open and French Open. The gap between surfaces is still quite significant.

KrejčíkováShe has one title each at the French Open and Wimbledon, but currently shows less competitiveness on hard courts.

In summary, considering current WTA rankings, Świątek remains the most likely to achieve a career Grand Slam. However, we may have to wait until next season at the earliest.

It will be difficult for Sabalenka to win both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same season. Ideally, she could win Roland Garros this year and aim for Wimbledon next year.

Conclusion: It is unlikely that a WTA player will complete a career Grand Slam this season.
