Grand Slam, Men (Tennis)

The first man to have won all four of the world's major championship singles: Wimbledon, US, Australian and French Open championships was Fred Perry (GB) when he won the French title in 1935. The first man to hold all four championships simultaneously was Don Budge (USA)  in 1938, and with Wimbledon and US in 1937, he won six successive grand slam tournaments. The first man to achieve the grand slam twice was Rod Laver (Australia) as an amateur in 1962 and again in 1969 when the titles were open to professionals.
