21. Sharapova not only has 5 majors, but they include the career grand slam

Two French and one apiece of the other three.

Very few players own that accomplishment.

Anyway, I'm not a Serena fan so I don't care about any criticism, deserved or not. IMO, her numbers are inflated since she came around in a very weak era. She certainly didn't have to contend with a Navratilova or Graf caliber player. The two Belgians gave Serena fits, especially Henin, who knocked Serena out in three consecutive majors one year. But both Belgians retired early so that cleared the path.
