Can Jannik Sinner achieve a Career Grand Slam at the French Open 2026? Here’s who already has - complete list

Tennis world No. 1 Jannik Sinner is a man on a mission at Roland-Garros.

Aiming for a fifth Grand Slam title, the Italian star hopes to complete one of the most sought after feats in tennis: a Career Grand Slam.

It’s a phrase that signifies victory in all four of tennis's major tournaments: Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open – one that denotes the true legends from the false pretenders.

In singles competition, Sinner already boasts an impressive trophy cabinet, featuring two Australian Open titles, one title each at the US Open and Wimbledon, with his most recent Grand Slam success coming at the grass-court major.

In Paris, he’ll have the opportunity to accomplish a feat that only six male singles players – Rod Laver (the sole winner of a calendar Grand Slam, having claimed all four trophies in a single season), Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz – have accomplished in the Open Era.

With all this talk of records, titles and history in the air, there’s no better time for Olympics.com to look back at the greats that came before, including those that achieved the even rarer Career Golden Slam – a phrase bestowed to those who win all four majors and Olympic gold.

Scroll down to view a full list of the male and female tennis players who have successfully completed a Career Grand Slam, or Career Golden Slam, in their respective disciplines.
