Grand Slam

A “Grand Slam” refers to a significant achievement that typically involves winning all major competitions within a specific category during a defined period. The term is most commonly associated with sports, particularly in tennis and golf.

In tennis, a Grand Slam consists of the four major tournaments: the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. Winning all four tournaments in a single calendar year is considered one of the greatest accomplishments in the sport.
