On the first day of the #USOpen, my quarterly reminder (and losing battle) that the four biggest #tennis tournaments are individually called majors, and all four together are the #GrandSlam. So if one wins them all, they have achieved the grand slam. Now some will add other features like winning them all in one year, thatโs the calendar slam. Or winning them all in one year plus a gold medal at the Olympics, thatโs the golden slam, achieved only by Steffi Graf 1988. Yes Iโm being pedantic.
Die #USOpen also nicht mehr bei #Eurosport. Super. Das hilft dem #Tennis sicherlich wahnsinnig, die #GrandSlam Turniere auf noch mehr Sender bzw. Plattformen zu verteilen. Nicht. ๐
