The youngest Grand Slam player refers to the youngest player to win the championship in the four major tennis Slam competitions (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open). This record has always attracted much attention because it represents the outstanding achievements of individual players in terms of age. Over the past few decades, there have been many young players who have created this feat.
Looking back at history, Becker of Australia became the youngest Grand Slam champion in 1963. He was only 18 years and 2 months old. In the decades since then, this record has been continuously broken and updated.
In 1988, Stewart Sampras made a dazzling debut and became the youngest men's singles champion in the history of the Australian Open. At the time, he was only 18 years and 5 months. In the same year at Wimbledon, he set the record for the youngest men's singles champion in Wimbledon history, only 19 years old.
In 2005, Serena Williams rose rapidly and became the youngest women's singles champion in the history of the US Open. She is only 17 years and 11 months old, bringing new surprises to people. In addition, Serena Williams became the youngest women's singles champion in Australian Open history in 2002.
However, the youngest French Open champion to appear in 2019. Ashley Batty won the French Open women's singles championship at the age of 21 years and 11 months, becoming the youngest French Open winner in history.
The youngest Grand Slam players not only need to have outstanding talent and technical strength, but also need to endure tremendous psychological pressure and competitive pressure. The update of this record is not only an achievement of young players, but also witnesses the rapid development of tennis. I believe that there will be more powerful young players joining this hall in the future.
