Question 1

What are the four Grand Slams?

Accepted Answer

The Australian Open, French Open (Roland-Garros), Wimbledon and the US Open — tennis's four biggest tournaments, each offering the most ranking points and prize money on the calendar.

Question 2

What's the difference between ATP/WTA 1000, 500 and 250 events?

Accepted Answer

The numbers denote ranking points on offer and roughly the prestige/prize-money tier below Grand Slam level: Masters 1000s (ATP) and WTA 1000s are the biggest regular tour events, 500s are the next tier, and 250s form the bulk of the weekly tour calendar.

Question 3

What surfaces do tennis tournaments use?

Accepted Answer

Hard court, clay and grass. The season moves through hard-court swings (including the Australian Open and US Open), a clay swing culminating in the French Open, and a short grass swing built around Wimbledon.

Question 4

What is the Career Golden Masters?

Accepted Answer

Winning all nine ATP Masters 1000 tournaments at least once across a career. Only two men have done it: Novak Djokovic and, as of the 2026 Italian Open, Jannik Sinner.

Question 5

What is the Sunshine Double?

Accepted Answer

Winning both the Indian Wells and Miami Open titles in the same season. Aryna Sabalenka achieved it in 2026, the first player to do so since Iga Swiatek in 2022.

Question 6

Who are the 2026 Grand Slam champions so far?

Accepted Answer

At the French Open, Alexander Zverev won the men's title over Flavio Cobolli and Mirra Andreeva won the women's title over Maja Chwalinska. The Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open champions are decided separately as each major concludes.
