What tournament must a tennis win a grand slam?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Unfortunately the tennis world of Announcers, Tennis Players and others have made a disservice to true Grand Slam Champions by calling a Majors win a Grand Slam. A tennis player that has won seven majors are now being called winning seven Grand Slams which is wrong.

True Grand Slam Champions are as follows: Donald Budge (1938), Rod Laver (1962 & 1969), Maureen Connolley (1953), Margaret Court (1970), Steffi Graf (1988)
