Statement 1 is correct: Through a formal, shared governance structure, Grand Slam Tennis functions as a strategic partnership between the four major tournaments (the Australian Open, Roland-Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open). Managed by the Grand Slam Board (comprising the four Grand Slam Chairs and their CEOs), this unified structure coordinates rules, regulations, code of conduct, and overall strategy to minimize fragmentation across the sport.
Statement 2 is correct: Grand Slam tournaments follow ITF (International Tennis Federation) rules which set the minimum age of 14 for professional tournament entry. Players must hold an international ranking to qualify for direct entry. This is correct — the tournaments are open to all ranked players meeting this age threshold, not restricted to invitation-only or top-ranked players alone. Lower-ranked players can enter through qualifying rounds, making it genuinely open to all internationally ranked players above 14.
Statement 3 is not correct: According to Article I (E) of the official Grand Slam Tournament Regulations, there is explicitly no limitation on the absolute number of Wild Cards a player may receive over time to compete in the Grand Slam Tournaments. While the regular WTA or ATP Tour rules impose distinct caps on wild card allotments per season for lower-ranked or junior players, the independent Grand Slam Rule Book deliberately maintains an unrestricted open policy on this matter at the Majors.
