Hingis won five major singles titles, including three in 1997: the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open. Her remaining two came in Melbourne in 1998 and 1999. The distinction matters because her larger combined major tally also includes doubles and mixed titles, which this singles list does not add.

Venus wins our adjacent comparison on seven majors and five Wimbledon victories. Hingis earns this place for her 1997 peak and 209 weeks at No.1. This is an editorial selection, not the ten highest trophy totals: Goolagong Cawley’s seven Open Era majors make her omission a particularly strong challenge.
