Only American Male Grand Slam Winner. Don Budge Grand Slam Record Intact Don Budge's Tennis Grand Slam record set in 1938 still stands. When Frenchman Sebastein Grosjean topped American Andre Agassi in four sets in the Roland Garros French Open Tournament quarterfinals in June 2001, Agassi's chance to win a Tennis Grand Slam ended. Budge, who passed away last year, is the only American male to have won the Tennis Grand Slam. Grosjean was subsequently defeated in the semifinals, but he helped extend Budge's record for at least another year.
