Re: Which tournament is the 'fifth slam'?
Seriously, its the Year End Masters.

Not really.
Umag is great, the beach, plenty of parties no matches starting before 4pm.

Re: Which tournament is the 'fifth slam'?
Indian Wells is referred to as the 5th slam and when I Google "tennis 5th slam", Indian Wells is the first result.
I think we have a winner |
