This article details the list of men's singles Grand Slam tournaments tennis champions. Some major changes have taken place in history and have affected the number of titles that have been won by various players. These have included the opening of the French national championships to international players in 1925, the elimination of the challenge round in 1922, and the admission of professional players in 1968 (the start of the Open era ).[1] [2] [3]
All of these tournaments have been listed based on the modern definition of a tennis major, rather than when they were officially recognized by the ILTF . The Australian and U.S. tournaments were officially recognized by the ILTF in 1924, and the French Championships followed a year later in 1925 when it became open to all international players. The United States Lawn Tennis Association (USLTA) had several grievances with the ILTF and refused to join when it was formed in 1913.[4]
From 1913 to 1923 there were three official championships recognized by the ILTF:
During that same time period the USLTA recognized the U.S. National Championships
Bill Tilden won 10 Major titles in the 1920s, including an all-time record seven
US Open titles.
Roy Emerson was the first male player in history to win each Major title twice, and the only player to have won a career Grand Slam in both singles and doubles.
Rod Laver is the only man in history to win all four Majors in the same calendar year "The Grand Slam" twice (1962 and 1969).
Pete Sampras won 14 Major titles, 7 of them at Wimbledon. Both were records at the time of his retirement in 2002.
Andre Agassi was the first male player to complete the Career Grand Slam on three different surfaces, and the first male player in history to win the Career Golden Slam (winning the four Majors and the Olympic gold medal in singles).
Rafael Nadal has won a shared-record 20 Major singles titles, including 13
French Open titles at
Roland Garros , making him the only male player with double digit titles at one particular Major event.
Novak Djokovic is the only player to hold all four Major titles on three different surfaces simultaneously and the first player in the
Open Era to complete the double career Grand Slam. He has won a shared-record 20 Major singles titles and holds the all-time record of 9
Australian Open titles.
