The objectives of Grand Slam Tennis are to:

Establish a stronger and more effective governance structure for the relationship between the Grand Slam tournaments, demonstrating unity and reducing fragmentation across our sport.
Develop joint strategies to grow the sport and help initiate and deliver an improved sporting competition framework for players, fans and audiences around the world.
Identify and develop long-term opportunities that benefit the Grand Slam tournaments, and tennis as a whole, including potential collaboration on appropriate marketing and/or commercial initiatives and projects where relevant.
Generally, enhance the collaboration between the Grand Slams on matters of common interest for the benefit of the sport.

Managed through a board comprising the four Grand Slam Chairs supported by their CEOs, Grand Slam Tennis is also responsible for reviewing and making decisions on sporting competition matters, including Grand Slam Tournament Rules, Regulations and Code of Conduct, officiating, and relationships with governing bodies and third parties. Decisions made by Grand Slam Tennis in respect of sporting competition matters are reflected in the Grand Slam Rule Book.

As not-for-profit organisations, all profits from the commercial success of the four tournaments are reinvested into the sport – through improvements to facilities, national and international player development, and through funding hundreds of other professional tournaments worldwide.

Through Grand Slam Tennis, each Grand Slam is able to focus on ensuring the success of its individual tournament while at the same time collectively recognising the importance of the need to promote the health and growth of tennis throughout the world.

This investment in tennis, and in particular professional tennis, is a fundamental part of the ethic of the Grand Slam tournaments.

Grand Slam Tennis and the Grand Slam tournaments are committed to promoting the highest standards of sporting excellence and integrity in tennis.

Grand Slam Tennis is represented on the Tennis Integrity Supervisory Board, which is responsible for the governance of the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA). The ITIA was established in 2021 by the international governing bodies of tennis to promote, encourage, enhance and safeguard the integrity of tennis worldwide.

The Grand Slam Player Development Programme was established by the four Grand Slam tournaments in 1986 to encourage and increase competitive opportunities for players from developing tennis regions. The Programme provides more than 50 Grand Slam Player Grants per year to support junior and professional players so that they can gain competitive experience at an international level, including at the Grand Slam tournaments.
Since its inception, the Grand Slam Player Development Programme has contributed more than US$58 million to support player development.
