Most Tennis Grand Slam titles women

They not only finished top for total number of events won, but also won more doubles, ITF 1 and junior titles than any other country.

Leading the way was British number one women's singles and doubles star Jordanne Whiley.

At just 22-years-old Whiley became the first British athlete to win the historic calendar year Grand Slam after partnering Japan's Yui Kamiji to win the women's doubles at all four majors.

The feat left her second only to Kamiji in terms of overall number of women's singles and doubles titles won during 2014 with an impressive 13.

Fellow Britons Lucy Shuker and Louise Hunt were just behind their team mate with nine titles apiece.

"It's been an incredible year for me personally and the whole of British wheelchair tennis, " said Whiley.

"I've had an amazing year winning the doubles calendar Grand Slam and huge thanks have to go to all my coaches and support staff, as well as the Tennis Foundation and UK Sport.

"I'm looking forward to 2015 and am aiming for even more success with a particular focus on my singles game as I build on a successful end to 2014 after finishing third at the NEC Masters."

On the men's side, world junior number one Alfie Hewett was the most successful men's player numerically, picking up 12 singles and doubles titles in 2014, leaving him third behind 16-time Grand Slam Champion Stephane Houdet from France and recent NEC Masters champion Shingo Kunieda.

Gordon Reid has continued to challenge the top order of men's wheelchair tennis, moving to wolrd number one in a season that saw him capture 10 international titles.

The Tennis Scotland International Player of the Year secured his first Super Series title at the Sydney International Open, where his semi-final win over Japan's Kunieda saw him become the only player to beat the world number one during 2014.
