That's not a valid comparison, since the four tennis Grand Slam events are played on different court surfaces.

If Tiger Woods had won all of the major golf tournaments in one year, and they were played on surfaces as widely varied as these . . .

1. Short Grass
2. Tall Grass
3. Sand
4. Concrete

. . . then you might have a point.

It's almost impossible for a male tennis player to win all four Grand Slam events anymore (even the legendary Bjorn Borg couldn't do it) -- because the skills required to win on each surface can vary widely.

"That's not a valid comparison, since the four tennis Grand Slam events are played on different court surfaces."

Wxcuses, excuses. The 4 slams for golf are every bit as different as the 4 slams of tennis, especially the British Open.
Gold doesn't have to be played on concrete to to decide that.
n fact, it could be argued that the US and Australian Opens in tennis are about the same in terms of surface for playing tennis.
About the really different slam is the clay for the French Open, and federer regularly gets clobbered at the French.
That is not the sign of a great champion.
Not to mention Serena has already won ALL 4 slams in 12 months, playing on the same surfaces that Federer has.
You don't have a point.

If you don't think there is a difference in surfaces between the Master, US Open, British and PGA then you are crazy. Yes, they are all grass. But playing a British Open course and the Masters is totally different.
