Jannik Sinner became the first Italian to lift the Wimbledon title on Sunday, but had already made a slice of history by reaching the final.

Outside of his four-set triumph over Carlos Alcaraz in the championship match, the Italian had become just the 11th man in the Open Era to reach the final of all four Grand Slam tournaments.

Here, we look at the esteemed company Sinner joins with this impressive feat.

Rod Laver

Having completed the ‘Calendar Slam’ as an amateur in 1962, Laver returned to Grand Slam action after the Open Era – and again won all four majors in a row.

After finishing runner-up at the 1968 French Open before winning Wimbledon that summer, ‘Rocket Rod’ won the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open in 1969.

He never reached another Grand Slam final, but he was the first to reach all four finals in the Open Era, and remains the last man to complete the ‘Calendar Slam’.

Ken Rosewall

Much like Laver, Rosewall returned to Grand Slam action following the birth of the Open Era, and defeated his compatriot to lift the Roland Garros title in 1968.

The Aussie icon also triumphed at the 1970 US Open and sealed back-to-back Australian Open titles in 1971 and 1972.

Rosewall never lifted the Wimbledon title but twice reached the final in the Open Era, in 1970 and 1974, and recorded further US Open and French Open runner-up finishes as a professional.

Ivan Lendl

One of the most successful tennis players of all time, Lendl won eight Grand Slam titles and reached 19 finals in total across his career.

Lendl lifted the French Open title in 1984, 1986, and 1987, three straight US Open titles from 1985-87, and back-to-back Australian Open titles in 1989 and 1990.

The former world No 1 was a beaten finalist at a further 11 times at majors, including Wimbledon runner-up finishes in 1986 and 1987.

Stefan Edberg

Much like his rival Lendl, Edberg won three of the four Grand Slams and reached the final of all four major events across the 1980s and early 1990s.

The Swede won the Australian Open title in 1985 and 1987 and would then win Wimbledon in 1988 and 1990, before consecutive US Open triumphs in 1991 and 1992.

Edberg reached a further five Grand Slam finals across his career, including a runner-up finish at the French Open in 1989.

Jim Courier

To date, former world No 1 Courier remains the youngest man to have reached the final of all Grand Slam tournaments in the Open Era.

Courier is best remembered for winning back-to-back French Open titles in 1991 and 1992, and sealing consecutive Australian Open triumphs in 1992 and 1993.

The American reached a further French Open final in 1993, and was also the runner-up at the 1991 US Open, and at Wimbledon in 1993 – completing the set of finals aged 22.

Andre Agassi

Three decades on from Laver, tennis icon Agassi became just the second man in the Open Era to complete the Career Grand Slam after his victory at the 1999 French Open.

Prior to his Roland Garros triumph, the American had triumphed at Wimbledon in 1992, the US Open in 1994, and at the Australian Open in 1995.

Agassi would go on to win the 1999 US Open and the Australian Open in 2000, 2001, and 2003, with a further seven major finals to his name across his career.

Roger Federer

The next man after Agassi to complete the Career Grand Slam was Federer, the winner of 20 Grand Slam singles titles.

Federer won a record eight Wimbledon titles and a joint-record five US Open titles, with six Australian Open titles and a 2009 French Open triumph, the result that sealed him the Career Grand Slam.

Outside of his 20 major triumphs, the Swiss reached a further 11 Grand Slam singles finals across his career, with at least five finals at every Grand Slam.

Rafael Nadal

Following on from Federer is Nadal, the fourth man to win all four Grand Slam tournaments in the Open Era.

The Spaniard famously dominated clay, winning 14 French Open titles, though he was also a four-time US Open champion, and twice a champion at the Australian Open and Wimbledon.

Nadal was the runner-up at a further eight Grand Slam tournaments across his career, and reached the final of every major at least five times.

Novak Djokovic

No man in history can match Djokovic’s 24 Grand Slam singles titles, and no player can match his 37 appearances in Grand Slam finals.

The Serbian is a record 10-time Australian Open champion, never losing a final in Melbourne, though he also has seven Wimbledon, four US Open, and three French Open titles to his name.

Djokovic has also reached a further 13 Grand Slam finals across his legendary career, and remains the last man to complete the Career Grand Slam.

Andy Murray

One of the few players capable of challenging the ‘Big 3’, former world No 1 Murray won three Grand Slam titles across his career.

Murray won his first Grand Slam title at the 2012 US Open, before famous triumphs at his home Slam of Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016.

The Brit finished as the runner-up at eight other majors, including reaching five Australian Open finals and the 2016 French Open final.

Jannik Sinner

Eight years on from Murray, active world No 1 Sinner has become the latest player to reach the final of all four Grand Slam events.

The Italian triumphed at both the Australian Open and US Open in 2024 and would defend his title in Melbourne at the start of 2025.

Sinner reached his first French Open final last month, falling to Alcaraz in five sets, though he completed the set of finals at Wimbledon, this time beating the Spaniard.
