- * The Australian Open - This is an event in tennis that is held every year in the month of January. It is the event that essentially kicks off the tennis new year. During this period of time, everything seems to be fresh and new, and the players are all well rested since they have not been in any tournaments in a while. The Australians seem to absolutely adore this particular event. This is a tournament that many players are constantly striving to win, so it is a wonderful way for the tennis season to begin, jump starting everyone's motivation to succeed.

- * The French Open - This is the second grand slam tournament event for the year, and it also happens to be a really special one when you think about it. This tournament happens to begin during the later month of May, and it ends in the beginning of the month of June. This particular event is known most for the fact that it is played using courts of red clay. Roland Garros is the setting for this particular event and it happens to be a truly magnificent choice.

- * The Wimbledon - This is a grand slam tournament that is played on the grass in London, and it is the event that has the most amount of history behind it. All of the players in the tournament are wearing white in order to respect a tradition that Wimbledon has been carrying on for many years.

- * The US Open - Finally, the United States Open is played in Queens in New York, and it actually happens to be the largest of all grand slam events during the year. The energy at this tournament is regarded to be incapable of being matched. The feeling here is so electric because so many excellent matches are held here and carry on late through the day and night. To many of the players that come to the US Open tournament, winning this tournament is one of the most special things that they could ever accomplish, even in comparison to the other grand slam tournaments.
