Grand Slam tournaments sit at the centre of the ATP Tour calendar, offering the sport’s biggest stages, the most ranking points and the most enduring records. The four majors are the Australian Open on hard courts, Roland Garros on clay, Wimbledon on grass and the US Open on hard courts.
Each Grand Slam carries 2,000 ATP Rankings points for the singles champion, making success across the two-week draws particularly significant in the race for the year-end No. 1 position. The events also use best-of-five-set singles matches in the men’s draw, demanding sustained physical and tactical resilience through seven rounds.
The four major draws
The Australian Open opens the Grand Slam season in Melbourne, followed by the European clay-court swing and Roland Garros in Paris. Wimbledon then brings the tour to London’s grass courts before the US Open closes the major calendar in New York.
Beyond the trophies, Grand Slam results shape the leading statistical milestones in men’s tennis: major singles titles, match victories, consecutive appearances, weeks at No. 1 and career achievements across all four tournaments. The champions of each Slam take home the maximum 2,000 points, while defeated finalists, semi-finalists and earlier-round players also receive substantial ranking rewards.
The next Grand Slam draw will again place the game’s leading players across seven rounds, with every contender pursuing the title, the ranking points and a place in tennis history.
