Grand Slam tournaments

Four premier championships

Grand Slam tournaments are the four most prestigious annual tennis championships: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open.

Each spans two weeks and draws the world's top players.

Winning all four in a single calendar year is called a Grand Slam—an extremely rare achievement.

She's won three Grand Slams but never the French Open.
