To win the grand slam—that is, all four major tournaments in one calendar year—is considered the greatest achievement in tennis. The first player to win the grand slam in singles was American Don Budge in 1938. The only other players to win the singles grand slam are American Maureen Connolly in 1953, Australian Rod Laver in 1962 and 1969, Australian Margaret Smith Court in 1970, and German Steffi Graf in 1988. Several players have accomplished the feat in doubles and in mixed doubles.
