Note that “grand slams” are four consecutive wins in majors (traditionally, all in the same year, not split across years). The tournaments themselves are not “slams”, but “majors”.

Could be that there is a different wording in different countries. But if you check the link I used as a source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Grand_Slam_men%27s_singles_champions , you can see that is called Grand Slam Champions.

Eh, I guess you’re right. Though I think it’s a bit of a weird metonym. But it’s the same in horse racing, with the Triple Crown referring to the races as well as a winner in all three in the same year, so yeah.
