[edit] Description of those tournaments
A Grand Slam title is a tennis championship won at one of the four tournaments that comprise the tennis Grand Slam. These tournaments, often referred to collectively as "Grand Slam tournaments," are the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open.
Currently, Grand Slam tournaments are widely considered the four most prestigious events in the tennis world and, therefore, usually draw the best players. Many argue that results at Grand Slam tournaments are useful for measuring the strength of a singles player or doubles team relative to his, her, or their contemporaries. The following tables, however, are but one indicator of greatness as various factors have skewed the statistics, favoring some players over others. For example, Roy Emerson's titles were won against amateurs while the best players of his time, including Rod Laver, were professional and, therefore, not allowed to play in Grand Slam tournaments. Also, many players in the past did not have the funds or inclination to make long overseas trips to play. For example, Margaret Osborne duPont never played in Australia. World War II also cut short or limited the careers of many, including Don Budge.
Grand Slam tournaments are the only events on the professional tours that include a mixed doubles competition, alongside the men's doubles, women's doubles, and singles events. Main draw play at each Grand Slam tournament lasts for two weeks, with 128 players participating in the first round of the singles competitions.

[edit] Most wins by Grand Slam event
1The World Hard Court Championships (WHCC), the official clay court world championships, were held in Paris (except for one year in Brussells) beginning in 1912 and lasting through 1923. Unlike the pre-1925 French Championships, the WHCC was open to all nationalities. Therefore, the WHCC is the true forerunner of the open-to-all-nationalities French Championships that began in 1925. For purposes of determining the total number of Grand Slam titles won, the WHCC is used for 1914 and 1920 through 1923 instead of the closed-to-foreigners French Championships for those years.

[edit] World champions named by the International Tennis Federation
Since 1978 for men's and women's singles and since 1996 for men's and women's doubles, the International Tennis Federation has designated a "World Champion" each year based on performances throughout the year, including Grand Slam tournaments, the WTA Tour Championships, the Tennis Masters Cup, Fed Cup, the Davis Cup, and weekly tour events.
[edit] Men's singles
The International Tennis Federation's (ITF) choices for men's singles have been generally approved by tennis fans and the tennis media except in 1990 when the designation of Ivan Lendl was strongly criticized by those who claimed that the ITF was punishing Stefan Edberg for not playing the Grand Slam Cup.[1] That year, the Association of Tennis Professionals named Edberg its "Player of The Year," in accordance with its computer ranking system, and Tennis Magazine (France) ranked Edberg first, Andre Agassi second, and Lendl third.

[edit] Notes
- ^ Tennis Magazine (France), February 1991, issue no. 179. The magazine said, "'On' a choisi de sanctionner un champion qui n'avait pas craint d'avouer publiquement le peu d'importance qu'il accordait à la Coupe du Grand Chelem, la fameuse invention de la FIT pour 'casser' l'ATP Tour." Translated into English, "'One' has chosen to sanction a champion who hadn't feared to publicly confess the little importance he granted to the Grand Slam Cup, the famous ITF invention to 'break' the ATP Tour."
