Serena Williams has won at least one major in the each of the last three decades. She won her first grand slam event at the U.S. Open in 1999, another ten majors from 2000 - 2009, and she just won the 2010 Australian Open. There may be other players who have accomplished this feat; however, I am not aware of them.
Wimbledon
The grand slam odds for the upcoming tennis tournament are the chances of a player winning all four major tournaments in a single year. These odds are typically very low due to the high level of competition and the physical and mental demands of the sport.

Grand Slam ATP points are earned by tennis players based on their performance in major tournaments such as the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. Points are awarded for each round a player advances in the tournament, with more points given for later rounds. The player with the most points at the end of the tournament is the winner.

The four major tennis tournaments; the US Open, the Open Championships(wimbledon), Roland Garros (French Open), and the Australian Open are known as the Grand Slam of tennis. Hitting a grand slam in baseball scores four runs and is the greatest accomplishment a baseball player can achieve during one at bat.

No. There is a 16 year old limit. Back in the olden days they could have, but now a 13 year old can not win a major tournament. Although, 17 year old Melanie Oudin was close in the US Open.
No question Tiger Woods and Roger Federer are two athletes of the decades. Roger Federer broke multiple records and won tournament after tournament. He showed domination in the sport of tennis. Tiger Woods could not be stopped on the golf course. Also winning tournament after tournament and placing top 10 in multiple events. These two are the sports people of the decade because whenever you think of tennis and golf, those two players come into your head immediately. Those two showed domination and above all they were amazing role models (Not so much Tiger Woods now). Children and even adults everywhere look up to these athletes and that is a major reason why they are the sports people of the decade.
Fred Perry was the last British tennis player to win a Grand Slam and it was in 1936.
