Context
Grand Slam winners in tennis are players who win all four major tournaments in the same calendar year: the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and U.S. Open [2]. This is distinct from a career Grand Slam, which means winning each of the four majors at least once over a career [1]. The term is often confused with total major titles, but a true Grand Slam is a single-year achievement [2]. For example, Roger Federer won 20 major titles but never achieved a calendar-year Grand Slam.
