Grand Slam: Latest Sports Highlights
When you hear “Grand Slam”, you probably think of tennis, but the phrase pops up in many sports. It means a big win that covers all the top events in a season. In this page we break down what a Grand Slam is and show you the hottest moments that have just happened.
What does Grand Slam really mean?
In tennis, a Grand Slam is winning the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open in the same calendar year. It’s a rare feat, and when a player does it the whole world takes notice.
Other sports borrow the idea. In motorsport, a driver who wins the four biggest races – like the Monaco Grand Prix, the British Grand Prix, the Italian Grand Prix and the United States Grand Prix – is said to be on a Grand Slam chase. In cricket, a team that captures every major trophy in a season (like the IPL, Champions Trophy and World Cup) can be called a Grand Slam champion.
