Solutions

Solution 1: Union All + Equi-Join + Group By

We can use UNION ALL to merge all player IDs who won Grand Slam titles into a table T, then use an equi-join JOIN to join T table with Players table on player_id, and finally use GROUP BY and COUNT to count the number of Grand Slam titles won by each player.
