Grand Slam (real tennis)

Grand Slam (real tennis)

A Grand Slam in the sport of real tennis is earned by a player who holds the following titles in the same calendar year:
* Australian Open
* British Open
* French Open
* U.S. Open

The concept was borrowed from lawn tennis' Grand Slam. In 2000 and 2001 Robert Fahey earned back-to-back Grand Slams. As recently as 2003 Tim Chisholm held all four titles at the same time, however one was from a previous calendar year, so it was not technically a Grand Slam.
