Default Doubles Grand Slam?

The small type in tennis news today pointed out that Rick Leach won his 45th tournament with his doubles win in Scottsdale, and we saw recently that Todd Woodbridge recently passed John McEnroe's total of 77 doubles titles. This got me thinking -- who, if anyone, has ever won a Grand Slam in doubles? McEnroe or Navratilova perhaps?

i could see the twins doing it. They are really tearing it up in the world of doubles.

I believe Navratilova and Shriver did it. To my knowledge, McEnroe and Fleming never won the French.

Hingis did as well, with 2 different partners in '98, I think.

Default Doubles grand slam

I know Pam Shriver and her partner (can't remember her name but she was a pretty good player.) won the doubles grand slam once. I think they had a 55 match win streak.
