What nickname would you give to each grandslam

[Elektra]

The Australian Open has taken life of it's own since it has expanded their infrastructure and is known to be the "happy slam" one of the main reasons is players coming in tennis season fresh, healthy and looking reset their season. Another reason is that Australia Open is the biggest international event in Australia which generally leaves a positive, happy and prideful feeling among Australians.

Which nickname would you give to each grandslam and how would you describe.

Roland Garros is easily the toughest slam, because it has no tie-breaker in the 5th set.
winning a slam with no tie-breaker is the greatest accomplishment in tennis.
also has no hawkeye and no roof, so the prestige is unmatched

 

[OhYes]

AO - we care about profit Slam
RG - Nadal's Slam
WB - we care about profit Slam and Queen
UO - w.c.a.p. and celebrities Slam

 

[ibbi]

The sunny slam, the dusty slam, the damp slam, the windy slam.

 

[Sport]

3. Snobsdon
4. Yankees Open

 

[Rattler]

Sunny, Gritty, Stately, Noisy

 

[I Am Finnish]

LOL. Out of curiosity, how often has the 5th set gone above 6-6 at RG?

This, but ironically.

 

[Fedeonic]

Aus Open: The Slam that f. up my sleeping schedule.
Roland Garros: The Nadal Slam.
Wimbledon: The traditional Slam. Also best Slam.
US Open: The Slam that used to be good.

 

[Sudacafan]

LOL. Out of curiosity, how often has the 5th set gone above 6-6 at RG?

Gaudio won 2004 final 8-6 in the fifth.
And that's all I remember.

I think it is psychological, almost nobody dares to get to a 6-6 fifth set in RG, it would be grueling to break the tie with a normal two-games difference.
If they are 5-5 in a fifth set, the players' teams just secretly toss a coin and decide who will win and pretend to compete.

 

[tennisfan2015]

AO of course The Fedr slam
FO of coure the Fedr slam
Wimby: Of course the Fedr slam
And the USO: of course the Fedr slam

 

[Sudacafan]

LOL. Out of curiosity, how often has the 5th set gone above 6-6 at RG?

Forgot to mention R3 Dimitrov d Donaldson 6-7(1) 6-4 4-6 6-4 10-8 in RG 2018, only four hours and 19 minutes match.

 

[Sudacafan]

AO: The 70's Decade Forgotten Slam
RG: The Not Real Tennis Slam (we all know who promotes this here)
Wimbledon: The Curfew Slam
US Open: The Mother's Slam

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Forgot to mention R3 Dimitrov d Donaldson 6-7(1) 6-4 4-6 6-4 10-8 in RG 2018, only four hours and 19 minutes match.

Even more prominent: Djokodal 2013 SF.

 

[RaulRamirez]

AO of course The Fedr slam
FO of coure the Fedr slam
Wimby: Of course the Fedr slam
And the USO: of course the Fedr slam

I'm sensing a pattern, and trying to solve it.

 

[DTdragons645]

I think that "happy slam" also has to do with the place, since Australia is a much happier place than Paris, London, New York. At least that's my impression, I visited all four.
