In the world of tennis, the four major tournaments occupy the most important place in the calendar for fans. The four Grand Slam tournaments - Australian Open, French Open (Roland Garros), Wimbledon and the US Open - are the four most prestigious tournaments in the sport.
Held annually across Australia, France, the UK, and the United States, these events attract the world’s top players and offer the highest ranking points, prize money, and global attention. Each Grand Slam has its own unique surface and traditions - hard courts in Melbourne and New York, clay in Paris, and grass at Wimbledon. Winning even one is a major career milestone; capturing all four is the mark of a true tennis legend.
Let's have a look at the tennis Grand Slam schedule and fixture in 2026.
