List of ATP Big Titles singles champions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In men's tennis, the Grand Slam tournaments, the Masters tournaments, and the year-end championships are considered the top-tier events of the annual ATP Tour calendar, in addition to the quadrennial Olympics. They are collectively known as the 'Big Titles'.[a][1] The ATP defined the mandatory events (Slams, Masters and YEC) as follows
They are the biggest tournaments in our sport, where participation is mandatory, entry is reserved for the world's best and success is rewarded with fame and a rich haul of points and prize money.[2]
This article lists the respective singles champions of those events since the inception of the ATP Tour in 1990.
Note: By setting 1990 as the cut-off point, this list excludes many notable champions in top level tournaments from previous years. The Grand Slam tournaments and the year-end championships have been held since 1877 and 1970 respectively. The Olympics was first played in 1896, interrupted after 1924 and later resumed in 1988. High category tournaments equivalent to the Masters Series like the Grand Prix Super Series existed before the ATP Tour was introduced. There were also the professional Majors, the World Championship Series and the amateur Majors (WHCC, WCCC) before the Open Era.

Big Titles sweep
Winning all of the Big Titles over the course of a player's career: all four Grand Slam titles, all active Masters Series titles, the year-end championship title, and the Olympic gold medal. The feats of the Career Super Slam, the Career Golden Slam, the Career Grand Slam, as well as the Career Golden Masters are all achieved for the player who has completed the sweep. The feat of completing the Big Titles sweep has been described as completing the game of tennis.[7]

Surface sweeps
A surface sweep refers to the achievement of winning all of the Big Titles tied to a specific court surface at least once during a player's career.[9][10]
As of 2026, the feat has been achieved 6 times by 4 different players on hardcourts and 9 times by 4 different players on clay courts.
Novak Djokovic is the only player to have completed both sweeps, a feat he has accomplished twice.
Hardcourt sweep
Because of the number of mandatory events played on hard-courts, the hard-court sweep is considered among the most grueling in the sport. It consists of winning the Australian Open, the US Open, the year-end championship, and 6 Masters tournaments[i].
Jannik Sinner currently holds the record for being the youngest man to complete the hard-court sweep, at 24 years 6 months and 7 days old.
As of 2026, this feat has never been achieved in a calendar season.

Clay sweep
The clay-court sweep consists of winning the French Open and the three Masters 1000 events: Monte Carlo, Madrid or Hamburg[o], and Rome.
Rafael Nadal holds multiple records in this category. He is the youngest man to complete the clay-court sweep, at 21 years 11 months and 15 days old. He is the only player in the list to have won both the Hamburg Open and the Madrid Open as clay-court masters. Finally, he is the only player to have achieved this feat in a calendar season (2010).

Other surfaces
Due to the scarcity of tournaments on the remaining surfaces, it is technically inaccurate to speak of 'sweeps'; however, there are two noteworthy cases.
Andy Murray is the only player since 1990 to win two different Big Titles on grass courts, having secured the gold medal at the 2012 Olympic tournament held at the All England Club and the 2013 Wimbledon title.
Boris Becker is the only player since 1990 to win multiple different tournaments in the brief history of carpet court Big Titles, having secured the 1990 Stockholm Open title, the 1992 Paris Open title, and the 1996 Stuttgart Super 9 title.
