Surprised that a thread like this hasn't been started before on here, but I thought it would be interesting to track grand slam debutantes for each major. Stats and formatting shamelessly ripped off from a similar thread started by Corswandt over on TF
I'll just do this year for now and update at each upcoming major. May try and go back and look at older years if I have time at some point.
Colour code:
Player name - player who debuted through a MD WC
Player name - player who got in the MD on ranking
Player name - player who qualified
Players who debuted as lucky losers or got WCs into qualifying are noted as [LL] and [Q WC] respectively.
Stats are: round reached in Slam debut, career high ranking, career best performance at a Slam
