. The "Grand Slam" is the winning of all four Major tournaments in a single calendar year; however, it has also been used for many years now to refer to any of the major tournaments, (e.g., American tennis player Pete Sampras, who won 14 Major titles in his career, is often said to have won 14 "Grand Slams"—even though he did not achieve a true Grand Slam by winning all four Majors in a single year).

The Open Era of tennis began in 1968 when the Major tournaments agreed to allow professional players to compete. Wimbledon

 (June–July), and US Open (August–September).

A player who wins all four major tournaments, as a single or as part of a doubles team, in the same calendar year is said to have achieved the "Grand Slam". If the player wins all four consecutively, but not in the same calendar year, it is called a "Non-Calendar Year Grand Slam". Winning all four at some point in a career, even if not consecutively, is referred to as a "Career Grand Slam". Winning the four Majors and a gold medal in tennis at the Summer Olympics has been called a "Golden Slam" since 1988, when Steffi Graf

 became the only person to accomplish that feat in a single calendar year. Winning all four plus gold at some point in a career, even if not consecutively, is referred to as a "Career Golden Slam". Winning the four Majors in all three disciplines a player is eligible for – singles, doubles, and mixed doubles – is considered winning a "boxed set" of Grand Slam titles.

Non-calendar year Grand Slam (reigning champion of all four majors, spanning two years)

In 1982 the International Tennis Federation

The International Tennis Federation is the governing body of world tennis, made up of 205 national tennis associations.It was established as the International Lawn Tennis Federation by 12 national associations meeting at a conference in Paris, France on 1 March 1913...

 (ITF) redefined the Grand Slam as four consecutive victories that could span two calendar years. As defined in the constitution of the ITF: "The Grand Slam titles are the championships of Australia, France, the United States of America and Wimbledon. Players who hold all four of these titles at the same time achieve the Grand Slam".
As this definition differs from the original definition of the Grand Slam as restricted to a single calendar year, there has been some controversy towards this redefinition in the tennis world.

The first player to be designated a non-calendar year Grand Slam winner was Martina Navratilova, when she won the 1984 French Open to make her the reigning champion of all four women's singles Majors, winning the $1 million Grand Slam bonus in recognition of her achievement.

To the end of the 2010 season, only 7 players have completed a non-calendar year Grand Slam.

Of these players, three have multiple non-calendar year Grand Slams: Natasha Zvereva

Multiple Slam Sets

Of the many players who have managed to win a full set of four Majors, there is a small number who have gone on to win all four Majors a second – or even multiple – times. The completion of “multiple slam sets” (MSS) has been achieved by only 17 unique players up to the end of the 2010 season. MSS players can be found in each of the 5 tennis disciplines: men's or women's singles, men's or women's doubles, and mixed doubles. Of these, 4 players have completed MSS in more than one discipline: Roy Emerson, Martina Navratilova and Frank Sedgman have MSS in 2 disciplines, Margaret Court has MSS in 3 disciplines.

This table shows each multiple occurrence of a complete MSS for each of the players who have accomplished multiple slams in a particular tennis discipline. The year shown for each of the 4 Majors is the year that particular Major win was repeated as part of that player’s achievement of their second (all 17 players) and third (7 players) and fourth (4 players) and fifth through seventh (Martina Navratilova, in women’s doubles) complete slam set of Major wins.
