1 only

Statement 1 is correct: the 2026 Official Grand Slam Rule Book says Grand Slam Tennis operates through a shared governance structure linking the four Slams, with decisions on sporting competition matters made through that structure. Statement 2 is incorrect: entry is not open to all internationally ranked players above 14; the rule book limits open entry to internationally ranked players with a ranking of 500 or better, bars only those under 14, and also makes entry subject to the WTA Age Eligibility Rule. Statement 3 is incorrect: the Grand Slam Tournament Regulations expressly say there is no limitation on the number of wild cards a player may receive to compete in the Grand Slam Tournaments. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 only (Option C).
