How the tennis first Grand Slam timeline works
You're placing tennis greats by the year they won their first Grand Slam singles title. The tournament where that breakthrough came is printed under each name. You open with one player on the timeline and their year showing. Every card after that goes into a gap you choose. A correct pick reveals the year, while a miss still sends the player to the right place and takes one of your three lives.
Men and women share the deck, which means comparing careers that rarely crossed on court. It covers the amateur era, the Open era and today's young champions. The real trick is that a first title can arrive long before a player's dominant years, or almost as soon as they turn pro, so think about when each one broke through, not when they ruled.
Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
