Grand Slam (tennis) - Boxed Set

Boxed Set

Another Grand Slam-related accomplishment is winning a "boxed set" of Grand Slam titles – which is at least one of every possible type of Major championship available to a player: the singles, doubles, and mixed doubles at all four Grand Slam events of the year. This has never been accomplished within a year or consecutively across two calendar years.

Famous quotes containing the words boxed and/or set:

    We then lived roses; I had fooled despair
    And boxed him up and flogged his retinue,
    Made strong by cheeks and lips! I sucked in dew,
    And dragged the world, a weakling, by the hair.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied ... but written off as trash. The twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for which a beggar is a reminder of nothing.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
