Tennis Grand Slam Tournaments
In tennis, a singles player or doubles team is said to have achieved the Grand Slam if they succeed in winning all four of the following championship titles in the same year:
• Australian Open
• French Open
• Wimbledon
• US Open
Though the term was originally restricted to the winning of all four tournaments in the same calendar year, the International Tennis Federation declared the official term as a player holding all four titles simultaneously, regardless of the calendar year.
Career Grand Slam
Winning all four Grand Slam tournaments non-consecutively is described as a "career Grand Slam."
