About Don Budge
- John Donald ("Don" or "Donnie") Budge (June 13, 1915 – January 26, 2000) was an American tennis player.
- He is most famous as the first player — of any nationality, male or female — and only American male to win the four tournaments that comprise the Grand Slam of tennis in a single year.
- Budge was the second male player to win all four Grand Slam events in his career after Fred Perry, and is still the youngest to achieve that feat.
- He won 10 majors, of which six were Grand Slam events (consecutively, male record) and four Pro Slams, the latter achieved on three different surfaces.
- Budge was considered to have the best backhand in the history of tennis, at least until the emergence of Ken Rosewall in the 1950s and 1960s, although most observers rated Budge's backhand the stronger of the two.
