	Don Budge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Donald Budge (June 13, 1915 – January 26, 2000) was a champion tennis player who became famous as the first man to win in a single year the four tournaments that compose the Grand Slam of tennis.
		Born in Oakland, California, Budge was the son of a Scottish immigrant and former soccer player.
		In 1938 Budge dominated amateur tennis, defeating John Bromwich in the Australian Open final, Roderick Menzel in the French Open, Henry "Bunny" Austin at the Wimbledon Championships, where he never lost a set, and Gene Mako in the U.S. Open, to become the first person ever to win the Grand Slam in tennis.
