The gold-medal match in men's singles at the Paris Olympics featured players with a combined 28 Grand Slam singles titles.

But those weren't the only majors represented in the building.

Not by a long shot.

By our count there were at least twenty-four more inside Court Philippe-Chatrier, as 23-time Slam champ Serena Williams watched Novak Djokovic (24 majors) face Carlos Alcaraz (four majors) from the front row. The 2012 singles gold medalist—who helped carry the Olympic torch a few days ago—sat next to Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee, and David Haggerty, former President of the International Tennis Federation.

Serena Williams continues to be a fixture in Paris.

As for that other major? That would be Roland Garros 2003, won by Juan Carlos Ferrero, Alcaraz's coach. The Spaniard had not been in his pupil's box during the Paris Games, but he made sure to be there for the final.

Any more majors in the building? Let us know.
