Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal are the only male-female pairing to win all four Majors together

Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal have 44 Grand Slams between them, 23 Majors for the former and 21 for the latter. Both players have completed the Double Career Grand Slam -- winning all four Grand Slams at least twice in their careers. More interestingly, the duo are also the only male-female pairing in tennis history to win all four Majors together.

The pair won the Australian Open together back in 2009, Nadal's sixth Major and Williams' 10th Major overall. Seeded first in the tournament, the Spaniard raced his way to the title with two back-to-back marathon five-setters against Fernando Verdasco in the semifinals and Roger Federer in the finals.

The triumph marked the current World No. 4's first Grand Slam on hardcourts as well as his maiden triumph at Melbourne Park.

Fun fact. 🇪🇸Nadal and 🇺🇸Serena are the only GS pair in tennis history (including pre open era) to have won all four grand slams together.
