In 2021, professional tennis player Novak Djokovic had an opportunity to earn the Grand Slam title 53 years after a men’s pro tennis player achieved a Gram Slam. To join the exclusive Gram Slam holders club, a tennis player has to win the four main tennis championships, the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open, in the same year. Djokovic won three titles in 2021, except for the US Open, which he lost to Russian professional tennis player Daniil Medvedev.

Don Budge and Rod Laver are the only two professional men’s tennis players to achieve a Grand Slam. Don did in 1938, while Rod earned a Grand Slam twice in 1962 and 1969. In total, only five professional tennis players, including Maureen Connolly (1953), Margaret Court (1970), and Steffi Graf (1988), have achieved a Grand Slam.
