Serena Williams has won the Australian and French Opens this year, and despite a scare against Heather Watson last week, she is set fair to claim her sixth Wimbledon title and her 21st Grand Slam.
She is currently playing deaf when asked about the possibility of the calender Grand Slam.
It's 27 years since Galway won the All-Ireland hurling title and it's 27 years since the Calender Grand Slam was achieved in tennis.
A teenage Steffi Graf pulled it off in 1988, winning gold at the Olympics in Seoul along the way. She had some tough battles. She came from a set down to end Martina Navratilova's long reign as Wimbledon champion.
She wasn't detained too long at the French Open Final, for instance. She beat Natasha Zvereva 6-0 6-0 in the final in a total of 34 minutes.
Zvereva is thus the only person to appear in a Grand Slam singles final without winning a game in a Grand Slam singles final.
The video of the game demonstrates the ruthlessness of Steffi's father Peter, who celebrated the winning point as if Steffi had just beaten Martina Navratilova in a dramatic third set tie break.
Graf herself was a little less ecstatic than her Dad. Her first words to the crowd on receiving the trophy was an apology for 'the game being so short'. We're not sure how Zvereva felt about these words.
She would beat Graf at Wimbledon in 1998, having lost the previous sixteen matches, evoking the famous response of Vitas Gerulaitis when he finally defeated Jimmy Connors after losing sixteen in a row.
Let that be a lesson to you all. Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis seventeen times in a row.
In the men's game, there haven't been too many 'triple bagels' but they aren't unheard of either.
In the 1993 French Open, eventual winner Sergi Brugera beat the ironically named Thierry Champion 6-0 6-0 6-0 in the Second Round, a fact which leaves one with the sobering realisation that Thierry actually beat someone to get that far.
