On the ‘most Slams’ debate: if you mean singles, it’s Djokovic (men) and Court (women); across all disciplines, Martina Navratilova’s 59 is the real outlier (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_champions_in_tennis). For the adverse-weather scheduling you mentioned last week, set a heat/rain cutoff in the team’s shared calendar and pre-book one indoor backup slot. Do we want to pin a post clarifying which category we’re tracking when we compare records?

, this always gets messy when we mix Open Era vs all-time; can we pin a one-liner at the top of each weekly thread that says singles-only, all-time (or whatever we agree) and link the running tally: List of Grand Slam champions - Wikipedia? @Lena if you’re up for it, that’d save us the spiral we had last week, and if people want all disciplines we can add the doubles/mixed sections too.

Quick fix: add tags — ‘singles’, ‘Open Era’, ‘including mixed’ — like the adverse-weather scheduling thread, @Guide.

I’d pin a simple header to set the scope — like lane markers — e.g., ‘Singles majors: Djokovic 24, Court 24; combined titles: Navratilova 59’ (or make it the first line of the OP). @sandraM89, want to pilot that this Friday? Source for the 59: Martina Navratilova - Wikipedia.
