What is a Grand Slam?

There are dozens of ATP and WTA tournaments available to bet on during a calendar year, but the most prestigious of competitions are the four Grand Slams: The Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. 


The Australian Open kicks off the Slam season in January on the hard courts of Melbourne Park. Next up in late May is the French Open, played on the red clay courts of Roland Garros in Paris. In June, the grass courts of the All England Club host Wimbledon in London. 


The final Slam of the year is the US Open, contested on the hard courts of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City in late August and early September. 


These four tournaments offer the biggest titles, largest trophies, and biggest prize money purses in tennis. Winning a career Grand Slam by triumphing in all four majors in the same calendar year is the ultimate achievement in the sport. Every top ATP and WTA player dreams of lifting these prestigious trophies.


What is the ATP?

The Association of Tennis Professionals is the governing body for professional men's tennis. Founded in 1972, the ATP organizes the worldwide tennis tour for male players outside of the four Grand Slams. The ATP tour consists of over 60 tournaments each year with varying tiers and surfaces. 


The top ATP events include the prestigious Masters 1000 tournaments and the season-ending ATP Finals. Some of the most legendary players to dominate the ATP tour include Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andre Agassi. 


Sampras was a dominant force in the 1990s, winning 14 Grand Slam singles titles, before the big three of Djokovic, Federer and Nadal established their hold over men’s tennis. Djokovic holds the record for Grand Slam wins, with 24 titles. Nadal is considered the greatest clay court player ever with a record 14 French Open wins.


Legends like John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, Jimmy Connors and Ivan Lendl also left their mark, winning majors and attaining the No. 1 ranking during their illustrious ATP careers. Today's young stars led by the likes of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz aspire to follow in the footsteps of these all-time greats.


What is the WTA?

Founded in 1973, the Women's Tennis Association serves as the governing body for professional women's tennis, overseeing the global tennis tour for female players outside of the four Grand Slams. 


The WTA tour calendar consists of dozens of events annually contested on hard courts, clay, and grass surfaces. Tour competitions encompass the WTA 1000, 500, 250, and 125 series events, as well as the season-ending WTA Finals. 


Some of the most legendary players in WTA history include Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, Serena Williams, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles, Justine Henin, and Billie Jean King. King, an American, was among the founding nine members of the WTA, and is recognized as a champion for women’s rights in professional tennis.


Navratilova and Evert dominated the 70s and 80s with a fierce rivalry. Williams holds the most Grand Slam singles titles during the Open Era with 23, while Graf holds the record for most weeks ranked world No. 1 at 377. Seles and Henin also won multiple majors. 


Today's stars like Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, and Iga Swiatek strive to match the achievements of these WTA greats.
