A tennis point can be won I several different ways.
1. If one player hits the ball out of bounds or into the net, the other player wins the point.
2. If a ball bounces twice on one players side, the other player wins the point.
3. If the ball makes contact with a permanent fixture before bouncing, the player that hit the ball loses the point (not including the net, usually occurs when the ball hits the ceiling).
4. If a ball bounces on one players side then hits a permanent fixture, the player that hit the ball wins the point ( usually occurs when the ball bounces then hits the net separating the courts).
5. If a player touches the net, he loses the point.
First of all there are four Major Tournaments in tennis, Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon & U.S. Open. A real tennis Grand Slam is when one player holds all for Major Titles in the same calendar year. There is a Career Grand Slam which is when one player has won all for Majors in their career. Then there is the personal (the players name) Slam when a player holds all for Majors at the same time during two consecutive years.
