Correct answer: C. 1 only
Statement 1 is correct — the four Grand Slams are coordinated through a shared governance arrangement (the Grand Slam Board). Statement 2 is wrong — entry is not open to "all" ranked players above 14; the Age Eligibility Rule restricts the number of professional events younger players may enter.
