Grand Slam

The complete sweep in one calendar year of all of the four major championships: Wimbledon, the United States, the French, and the Australian. Only two men have ever achieved this, Don Budge in 1938 and Rod Laver, who did it twice, in 1962 and 1969. Among the women, Maureen Connoly turned the trick in 1953 and Margaret Court in 1970.
