The Grand Slam tournaments, also called majors, are the four most important annual tennis events.
 They offer the most ranking points, prize money, public and media attention, the greatest strength and size of field, and greater number of "best of" sets for men.
 The Grand Slam itinerary consists of the Australian Open in mid January, the French Open in May and June, Wimbledon in July, and the US Open in August and September.
 Each tournament is played over a period of two weeks.
 The Australian and United States tournaments are played on hard courts, the French on clay, and Wimbledon on grass.
 Wimbledon is the oldest, founded in 1877, followed by the US in 1881, the French in 1891, and the Australian in 1905.
 However, of these four, only Wimbledon was a major before 1924–25, when all four became designated Grand Slam tournaments.
 Skipping Grand Slam tournaments—especially the Australian Open because of the remoteness, the inconvenient dates (around Christmas and New Year's Day) and the low prize money—was not unusual before 1982, which was the start of the norm of counting Grand Slam titles.
Martina Navratilova defeated Andrea Jaeger 6–0, 6–3 in the final to win the Ladies' Singles tennis title at the 1983 Wimbledon Championships.
 Billie Jean King became the oldest semi-finalist at a Grand Slam event at 39 years, 7 months and 9 days old, an Open Era record.
 Chris Evert's loss in the 3rd round, snapped a streak of 34 consecutive Grand Slam semi-finals, she had made the semi-finals in her first 34 Grand Slam appearances between the US Open 1971 and the French Open 1983.
The Australian Open is a major tennis tournament held annually over the last fortnight of January in Melbourne, Australia.
 First held in 1905, the tournament is chronologically the first of the four Grand Slam tennis events of the year – the other three being the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open.
 It features men's and women's singles; men's, women's and mixed doubles and junior's championships; as well as wheelchair, legends and exhibition events.
 Prior to 1988 the tournament had been played on grass courts, but since then two types of hardcourt surfaces have been used at Melbourne Park – green coloured Rebound Ace up to 2007 and, afterwards, blue Plexicushion.
The 2004 French Open was the 103rd edition of the tournament.
 Gastón Gaudio became the first men's Open Era Grand Slam title winner to save match points (2) in the final; the last time that had happened was 70 years earlier.
 Gaudio also became the first Argentine man since Guillermo Vilas to win a grand slam, in 1979.
 Fellow Argentine Guillermo Coria, widely regarded as the favourite and best clay court player in the world coming into the tournament, was seeded 3rd for the event, whereas Gaudio was unseeded (ranked 44th) and with only two titles to his name, both of which he had won over two years before.
 After winning the first two sets convincingly, Coria began suffering from leg cramps. Gaudio won the next two sets; however, Coria came back and was up two breaks of serve in the final set.
 Coria had two match points at 6–5 before Gaudio prevailed 0–6, 3–6, 6–4, 6–1, 8–6.
 Gaudio also became the first man to win a Grand Slam tournament final after being bagelled in the first set.
 The tournament was noted for the excellent performance of the Argentine players – in addition to the two finalists, there were a semifinalist (David Nalbandian) and a quarterfinalist (Juan Ignacio Chela).
 It was also highlighted by a first round match between Fabrice Santoro and Arnaud Clément, lasting 6 hours and 33 minutes and ending in Clement's defeat 6–4, 6–3, 6–7, 3–6, 16–14, setting a new record for the longest singles match in the open era, which would stand until Wimbledon 2010.
 It was also the last Grand Slam tournament to feature neither Roger Federer nor Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals until the 2012 US Open.

 Rosewall won 9 slams in doubles with a career double grand slam.
 He is considered to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
 He had a renowned backhand and enjoyed a long career at the highest levels from the early 1950s to the early 1970s.
 Rosewall was one of the two best male players for about nine years and was the World No. 1 player for a number of years in the early 1960s.
 He was ranked among the top 20 players, amateur or professional, every year from 1952 through 1977.
 Rosewall is the only player to have simultaneously held Pro Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces (1962–1963).
 At the 1971 Australian Open he became the first male player during the open era to win a Grand Slam tournament without dropping a set.

Novak Djokovic was the defending champion, but lost in the final to Stan Wawrinka, 7–6, 4–6, 5–7, 3–6.
 This was the first time the men's singles champion at the US Open won the match after losing the first set since Juan Martín del Potro in 2009.
 This was also the first time the men's singles champion at the US Open won the title after being a match point down since Djokovic in 2011, with Wawrinka having saved a match point against Dan Evans in the 3rd round.
 As he had done in his 2 previous grand slam titles, Wawrinka again defeated the world No. 1 in the final.
Sandra Reynolds Price ("née" Reynolds; born 4 March 1934) is a former tennis player from South Africa who won four Grand Slam women's doubles championships and one Grand Slam mixed doubles championship.

 Reynolds is the only female player from South Africa to have reached the Wimbledon singles final, and she is one of three to have reached a singles final in a Grand Slam.
 In 1961, she was seeded no. 1 for the Wimbledon Ladies Singles Championship, making her the only South African player (man or woman) ever to be seeded first in a Grand Slam singles event.
 She was the runner-up at the 1959 , losing to Sally Moore in the final.

 It was contested between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, ranked 17th and 9th in the world respectively.
 It was their record ninth meeting in a Grand Slam final in their rivalry, and their 1st meeting in a Grand Slam final since the 2011 French Open.
 In a rematch of the 2009 Australian Open final, which Nadal won in 5 sets, Roger Federer won the duel in 5 sets, beating Nadal for the first time in a Grand Slam since the 2007 Wimbledon final.
 He also trailed Nadal 3–1 in the final set but won 5 games in a row to win the title.
 This ended a 6-match losing streak against Nadal in Grand Slam events.
 Having lost all of their previous three encounters, this was the first time Federer defeated Nadal at the Australian Open and also marked Federer's first Grand Slam victory over Nadal outside the grass courts of Wimbledon.
 Federer extended his record of Grand Slam men's singles titles to 18, marking the third time he broke his own all-time record, after breaking the previous record of 14, held by Pete Sampras.
Chris Evert won eighteen grand slam singles tournaments in her career (two Australian Open's, seven French Open's, three Wimbledon Championships', and six US Opens), and was runner-up in sixteen other finals ( giving her 34 finals appearances).
