In a year there are how many Grand slams and which ones?

Answer 1

There are only 4 'grandslam' tournaments:
1. Australia Open, the 'opening' grand slam tournament,
2. Roland Garros, or the French Open,
3. Wimbledon, the all famous grass courts,
4. US Open, as the 'closing' grandslam tournament.

There was an effort to add 1 major tournament, the ATP Masters Cup, as the fifth but it had never succeed. The Masters giving away the biggest prize money and only the 8 top-ranked players invited to play in round-robin matches.

All those grandslam categorized tournaments are for the professional players whilst there are some tournaments previously only for the amateurs i.e Davis Cup, Federation Cup or the Olympic. At this time pro players play in those tournaments as well.

Answer 2

The four grand slams are: the French Open (also called Roland Garros, after a WWI fighter pilot), Wimbledon (also known as the All England Lawn Tennis Championship), the U.S. Open, and the Australian Open.

These were modelled after the golf Grand Slam.

There have only been a small number of winners. Don Budge was the first to win a Grand Slam. Rod Laver won it twice, as an amateur and a pro. Maureen Connolly won it, as did Margaret Court, and Steffi Graf. Stefan Edberg is the only junior Grand Slam winner. There have also been Grand Slam winners in doubles and mixed doubles.

Grand Slam winners must win in the same year. Martina Navratilova won six Grand Slam events in a row, but never four in the same year (losing to Kathy Horvath in the French at one end, and Helena Sukova at the Australian, at the other).

These days, it's very tough for a male to win the Grand Slam, since winning the French Open on slow clay, then coming back a few weeks later to win at Wimbledon, is considered very challenging. Federer seems the most likely to do it, but it's tough given how good Nadal is on clay.

Right now, there is no dominating women, but historically, there have been dominating players (Evert, Navratilova, Graf, Seles, Williams, Hingis). Because of that, there's no clear choice for winning a Grand Slam.

The last male to come close was, I believe, Mats Wilander, who won three of four in 1988, missing, of course, Wimbledon, where he never reached the finals.
