[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 810918, member: 70552"] But it's not. It's a nice addition, the cherry on top for most tennis players. Grand Slams are and always will be the pinnacle for tennis - 7 best of 5 set matches for the men; 7 best of 3 set matches for women. Compare that to Olympics men's competition which is 5 best of 3 sets and only the final being best of five sets; women's are 6 best of 3 set matches. It's special for players because of the wider context that the competition is played in and I think it sits in it own right as a very special event in the tennis calendar, but definitely not the equal of a Grand Slam; maybe just below it.
