Who is statistically the best tennis player of all time depends on which statistics you prioritize, as there is ongoing debate among fans of the Big Three and Serena Williams, but by most statistical measures for men's tennis, Novak Djokovic is considered statistically the best of all time. Djokovic, born in 1987 in Serbia, holds the record for most Grand Slam singles titles for men with 24 tied with Margaret Court overall, most weeks at world number 1 with over 400 weeks, most year-end number 1 finishes with 8, most ATP Masters 1000 titles with 40, highest career prize money over 180 million dollars, and is the only player to win all four Grand Slams at least three times and to complete the Career Golden Masters twice. For women's tennis, statistically Serena Williams with 23 Grand Slam singles in Open Era and 39 total Slams including doubles is often considered best, while Margaret Court has 24 singles. For overall GOAT debate, Djokovic leads in most major statistical categories for men, including winning record against Federer and Nadal, making him statistically the best by numbers, though some argue Federer or Nadal for influence. So statistically, Djokovic is best for men and Serena Williams for women in Open Era by Grand Slam count and weeks at number 1.
