Statistics play an important role in summarizing tennis performance and evaluating players in the sport, both present and past. While not all statistics are known, this article tries to be comprehensive on major tournament wins for singles, same-sex doubles, and mixed doubles as well as pointing out major career milestones. The professional tours and matches from 1930-1968 are not included but amateur and international events, such as the Olympics and Davis Cup, are well covered.
Grand Slam tournaments
Description of those tournaments
A Grand Slam title is a championship won at one of the four tennis tournaments that comprise the tennis Grand Slam. These tournaments, often referred to collectively as "Grand Slam tournaments," are the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
Currently, Grand Slam tournaments are widely considered the four most prestigious events in the tennis world[citation needed] and, therefore, usually draw the best players. Grand Slam results are often used as a measure of the success of players relative to their contemporaries.[citation needed] The following tables, however, are but one indicator of greatness as various factors have skewed the statistics, favoring some players over others. For example, Roy Emerson's titles were won against amateurs while the best players of his time, including Rod Laver, were professional and, therefore, not allowed to play in Grand Slam tournaments. Before the 1960s many players felt Davis Cup was the most hallowed event in tennis.[citation needed] Also, many players in the past did not have the funds or inclination to make long overseas trips to play.[citation needed] For example, Margaret Osborne duPont never played in Australia. World War II also cut short or limited the careers of many, including Don Budge.
Grand Slam tournaments are the only events on the professional tours that include a mixed doubles competition,[citation needed] alongside the men's doubles, women's doubles, and singles events. Main draw play at each Grand Slam tournament lasts for two weeks, with 128 players participating in the first round of each singles competition.
