Wimbledon is the most historic tournament in tennis, dating back to 1877. Hosted at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, it is the only Grand Slam played on grass — a surface that demands quick reactions, precise footwork and exceptional serving. The event is famous for its traditions: an all-white dress code, strawberries and cream, the royal box and a uniquely quiet yet electric atmosphere. Winning Wimbledon is often considered the peak achievement in a tennis player's career.
Held every January in Melbourne, the Australian Open marks the beginning of the tennis season. Known as the "Happy Slam" for its friendly environment, it features world-class hard courts, retractable-roof stadiums and top-tier facilities. The tournament stands out for intense summer heat, dramatic five-set battles and night sessions that often turn into unforgettable classics. It's one of the most unpredictable Majors due to players returning from off-season breaks with varying levels of preparation.
Roland Garros, played in Paris, is the ultimate clay-court tournament. Clay slows down the ball and creates long, strategic rallies — testing stamina, patience and tactical creativity. It is widely considered the physically toughest Grand Slam. The red-clay courts, iconic Philippe-Chatrier stadium and rich French tennis culture make Roland Garros one of the most recognisable events of the year.
