Only a select few tennis players have achieved the coveted calendar-year Grand Slam, winning all four major tournaments in a single year.
The Elite Group:
- Rod Laver (1962 & 1969): The first and only player to achieve this feat twice, in the amateur and professional eras.
- Margaret Court (1970): The only woman to achieve the calendar-year Grand Slam.
- Steffi Graf (1988): The last player to achieve this feat, winning all four tournaments in a single year.
This achievement is considered one of the most prestigious in tennis, a testament to a player's exceptional skill, consistency, and mental fortitude.
