- defending points creates extra pressure on last year’s performers
- consistency across many Slams builds a strong ranking base
Understanding the points helps explain why a strong Grand Slam can change an entire season.
For any player who wants to understand elite tennis, the Grand Slams are the clearest example of how technique, endurance and mental discipline meet.
