The feat was accomplished by Ken Rosewall in 1963 [168] and Rod Laver in 1967, [169] while Ellsworth Vines, Hans Nüsslein and Don Budge have won the three major trophies during their careers. This success in combination with large signings of top players to two new professional tours— World Championship Tennis and the National Tennis League—convinced the LTA on the need for open tennis.

Margaret Court AC MBE ( née Smith; born 16 July 1942), also known as Margaret Smith Court, is an Australian former world No. It was first held in 1891 on the sand courts of the Societé de Sport de Île de Puteaux, in Puteaux, Île-de-France, [63] [l] and repeatedly changed venues over the years before settling on the clay courts at the Stade Roland-Garros in Paris, France, where it has been contested since 1928.This marked the start of the Open Era of tennis, [26] with its first tournament, the 1968 British Hard Court Championships, beginning three weeks later on 22 April in Bournemouth, England, [33] while the first open Grand Slam tournament, the 1968 French Open, was held in May. Similarly, the term "non-calendar-year Golden Slam" has been used since 2013, when Bob and Mike Bryan won the 2012 Olympics, 2012 US Open, 2013 Australian Open, 2013 French Open and 2013 Wimbledon Championships doubles titles consecutively. The tournament has some of the longest running sponsorships in sports history, having been associated with Slazenger since 1902, [92] and with the Robinsons fruit drink brand since 1935. Court reached the final in 29, the semifinals in 36 and the quarterfinals in 43 of the 47 Grand Slams singles tournaments she played.

In singles, the feat has been accomplished by two men: Rafael Nadal in 2010 and Novak Djokovic in 2021; [159] and three women: Martina Navratilova in 1984, Steffi Graf in 1988, 1993, 1995, 1996, and Serena Williams in 2002 and 2015.Court's second Boxed Set, completed in 1969, spans the pre-Open and Open Eras, but she later completed a set entirely within the Open Era in 1973.

The Grand Slam in tennis is the achievement of winning all four major championships in one discipline in a calendar year. By the 1920s, with the World Covered Court Championships failing to attract top players and the growing success of American and Australian tennis, the ILTF worked to convince the USNLTA to join them, meeting their demand to drop the designation of "World Championships" from all three tournaments in March 1923, which led to the demise of both the World Covered Court Championships and the World Hard Court Championships. At her final Australian championships (played in December 1974), she suffered only her second defeat in the singles prior to the final in all her appearances at the event, losing to Navratilova in a quarterfinal. The tournament was given the title "World Grass Court Championships" by the International Lawn Tennis Federation between 1912 and 1923, [87] and was designated a major championship following the abolition of the three ILTF World Championships. There were also the contracted professional players who had to skip some major events like the French Open in the 1970s because they were committed to the more profitable pro circuits.Until 1925, the tournament was known as the Championnats de France (French Championships), and only French players and foreign members of French clubs were eligible to compete in it. The new stadium has the tournament's second retractable roof, after one was added over the 23,771-seat Arthur Ashe Stadium in 2016. She has generally embraced teachings associated with the Word of Faith movement [34] and teaches her view of biblical doctrine.
