No, because it, to an extent, overcomplicates things. You see, for the past century there have been four grand slams. It is now the standard by which we measure greatness. I do not say that without a slam you aren't great, but the greats we consider today are those that win slams, whether it be a one slam wonder or someone like Roger Federer (or Rod Laver, if you're an oldie and take his Pro Slams into consideration). Adding another slam would not only add more pressure for professionals to gain a slam, but it would also make it easier for people to get one. The slams are supposed to be exclusive, and benchmarking against the greats of the past would become imbalanced as they would all have only four chances per year to acquire a slam.
