But Federer will cry like he's never cried before if he gets his 15th.

Reckon he'll cry even more if he loses. This is realistically, his best and possibly last chance at winning a grand slam.

No, a Grand Slam is winnign all four Opens in the one calendar year.
Four consecutive Opens is just a nice try.

Interesting, because I've heard it referred to before as a Non Calendar Year Grand Slam.

Sounds like a load of wank to me. That's like saying Manchester United did the treble with the 08 ECL, 09 league and league cup.

"A singles player or doubles team that wins all four Slam tournaments in the same year is said to have achieved the Grand Slam."

afromanGT wrote:"A singles player or doubles team that wins all four Slam tournaments in the same year is said to have achieved the Grand Slam." Non-Calendar year Grand Slam (four consecutive majors regardless of year); After Martina Navratilova won four consecutive major championships there was some controversy. Though it was a non-calendar Grand Slam the ITF decided to award her the Grand Slam US$1 million bonus, as she held all four titles at once.

Nope. Still a Grand Slam afro. Its just not as nice as it'd be if you won them all in the same year.
I didnt watch the match but 16 14 in the last set. Wow. Must have been epic.

There's like 3 types of Grand Slams.

The other is the "career grand slam", where you win all foru titles, but don't hold all of them at the same time. Or something like that.

No, there's other ways to win the grand slam prize-money. Nobody considers it to be a grand slam.
