Grand Slam (tennis)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The four Grand Slam tournaments, also called the Majors,[1] are the most important tennis events of the year in
terms of world ranking points, tradition, prize-money awarded, and public attention. They are the Australian Open,
the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open, played in that order. Both the Australian Open and the US Open
are played on hard courts, while the French Open is played on clay, and the Wimbledon is played on grass.
The Open Era of tennis began in 1968 when the Grand Slam tournaments agreed to allow professional players to
compete. Wimbledon, the first of Grand Slams, began in 1877, followed by the US Open (1881), the French Open
(1891), and the Australian Open (1905). Beginning in 1905 and continuing to the present day, all four grand slams
have been played yearly, with the exception of the 1st and 2nd World Wars and 1986 for the Australian Open. The
Australian Open is the 1st Grand Slam of the year (January), followed by the French Open (May-June),
Wimbledon (June-July), and US Open (August-September). Winning both Wimbledon (on grass) and the French
Open (on clay), back-to-back, is quite an achievement considering the traditional difference between the court
surfaces and the fast turn-a-round time between the tournaments.
In modern years, the Grand Slams have begun to add instant replay, giving the players the ability to challenge calls.
The US Open was to the first to allow this in 2006.[2] Both the US Open and Australian Open also feature night
matches played under the lights. The US Open was the first to feature night matches and also features the most night
matches of any Grand Slam. The US Open is the only Grand Slam to have a tie-breaker in the 5th set of Men's
Single's play, whereas in all the other Grand Slams players play out the 5th set (until one player leads by 2 games)
A singles player or doubles team that wins all four Grand Slam tournaments in the same year is said to have
achieved the "Grand Slam". If the player or team wins all four consecutively, but not in the same calendar year, it is
called a "Non-Calendar Year Grand Slam". Winning all four at some point in a career, even if not consecutively, is
referred to as a "Career Grand Slam". Winning the four Majors and a gold medal in tennis at the Summer Olympics
has been called a "Golden Slam" since 1988,[3] when Steffi Graf became the only person to accomplish that feat in
a single calendar year. Andre Agassi is the only other player to achieve a "Golden Slam", but Agassi did not do it in
one calendar year, so his is called a "Career Golden Slam".[4]

History
Used in golf since 1930, the term Grand Slam was first applied to tennis by New York Times columnist John
Kieran according to Total Tennis, The Ultimate Tennis Encyclopedia by Bud Collins. In the chapter about
1933, Collins writes that after the Australian player Jack Crawford had won the Australian, French, and
Wimbledon Championships, speculation arose about his chances in the U.S. Championships. Kieran, who was a
bridge player, wrote: "If Crawford wins, it would be something like scoring a grand slam on the courts, doubled and
vulnerable." Crawford, an asthmatic, won two of the first three sets of his finals match against Fred Perry, then tired
in the heat and lost the last two sets and the match.

Non-calendar year Grand Slam (four consecutive majors regardless

of year)
In 1982, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) redefined the Grand Slam as four consecutive titles that could
9/9/2010
In 1982, Grand (ITF)
the International Tennis Federation Slam (tennis) - Wikipedia,
redefined the Grand theSlam
fre… as four consecutive titles that could
span two consecutive years and put up a US$1 million bonus for any player who accomplished the feat.[5] After
Martina Navratilova won her fourth consecutive Grand Slam singles title at the 1984 French Open, she was
awarded the $1 million bonus in recognition of her achievement. (Navratilova then won the next two Grand Slam
singles titles, for a total of six consecutive, but did not complete the calendar-year Grand Slam.) This redefinition of
the Grand Slam by the ITF was the source of great controversy in the tennis world and, in the years since, the ITF
has distanced itself from the 1982 decision, seemingly reverting to the traditional calendar-year definition of the
Grand Slam.[citation needed] No other sources consider this a true Grand Slam.[citation needed]

Most Grand Slam singles titles in a row (non-consecutive)

Helen Wills Moody won all 16 of the Grand Slam singles tournaments she played beginning with the 1924 U.S.
Championships and extending through the 1933 Wimbledon Championships (not counting her defaults in the 1926
French and Wimbledon Championships). The first 15 of those were won without losing a set. During this period,
she won 6 Wimbledons, 4 French Championships, and 6 U.S. Championships. She also won the 1924 Summer
Olympics during this period. Moody never entered the Australian Championships.
Most Grand Slam mixed doubles titles in a row (non-consecutive)

Doris Hart won all 13 of the Grand Slam mixed doubles tournaments she played beginning with the 1951 French
Championships and extending through the 1955 U.S. Championships. During this period, she won 5 Wimbledons,
3 French Championships, and 5 U.S. Championships.
Career Grand Slam

Winning all four Grand Slam tournaments during a career is termed a Career Grand Slam. Six men and nine
women have accomplished this in singles play, but only three men (Rod Laver, Andre Agassi, and Roger Federer)
and five women (Margaret Court, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, and Serena Williams) have won all
four Grand Slam singles tournaments at least once since the beginning of the open era.
A number of high-achievement players have failed to achieve the Career Grand Slam because they did not have
long careers or because particular tournaments were ill-suited to their games. Björn Borg never won the US Open
or the Australian Open. John McEnroe never won the Australian Open or the French Open. Ken Rosewall,
Guillermo Vilas, Ivan Lendl, Monica Seles, and Mats Wilander failed to win Wimbledon. John Newcombe, Arthur
Ashe, Jimmy Connors, Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg, Pete Sampras, Martina Hingis, and Lindsay Davenport failed
to win the French Open. Evonne Goolagong Cawley never won the US Open, and Althea Gibson never won the
Australian Open.
Venus Williams thus far has failed to win either the Australian Open or the French Open, Justine Henin has not yet
won Wimbledon. Rafael Nadal has not yet won the US Open, and Maria Sharapova has not yet won the French
Open.
The following lists the players who have won all four Grand Slam singles tournaments. The year in which they won
their first Grand Slam singles tournament is listed first. The tournaments (or years) needed to complete their first
Career Grand Slam were won are then listed. The ages of the players when their Career Grand Slam was

Calendar Year Golden Slam

The term Golden Slam (initially "Golden Grand Slam") was coined in 1988 when Steffi Graf won all four Grand
Slam singles tournaments and the singles gold medal in tennis at the Summer Olympics in the same calendar year.[6]
Tennis was not an Olympic sport from 1928 through 1984 (except as a demonstration sport in 1968 and 1984);
therefore, many top tennis players from the past never had the chance to complete a Golden Slam. Nevertheless,
even with tennis on the Olympics, a Calendar Year Golden Slam could not have been accomplished by any player
except Maria Bueno (1960) and Martina Navratilova/Pam Shriver (1984).

Another Grand Slam-related accomplishment is winning a "boxed set" of Grand Slam titles – winning the singles,
doubles, and mixed doubles at all four Grand Slam events.
The top men's singles players have played comparatively few doubles, and very few mixed doubles. Three women
have completed the "boxed set" during their careers:
Doris Hart
Margaret Court
Martina Navratilova
Serena Williams has come closer than any other currently active player to joining this elite group. She has yet to win
the mixed doubles at the Australian and French opens (finishing as the runner-up at the 1999 Australian Open and
1998 French Open)
