Djoker not the only one going for cygs this year

[Lleytonstation]

Will the first men's singles player to win not only the cygs but golden slam be someone other than Djoker?

Alcott wins gold, keeps Golden Slam alive

Dylan Alcott's dream of a "Golden Slam" is alive after the Australian won the Paralympics quad singles final against Dutchman Sam Schroder.

Dylan Alcott might just steal Djokers thunder.

Go Dylan!

He already won the CYGS in 2019. He is trying to win the golden one this year.

Good luck to him but there are only 8 players who play this tournament....

CYGS is a nonsensical term. It's literally just called a Grand Slam. The only time you need to add terminology ahead of it is if you are describing a Career Grand Slam or a Non Calendar Year Grand Slam

Correct. It is The Grand Slam.

They invented it to glorify Steffi Graf's achievement and to give Olympic's more meaning, since Brit won two OG. Western media at it's best. Otherwise, completely tennis unrelated slang

That's the Golden Slam which is The Grand Slam + Gold Medal.

The CYGS is a stupid redundant Tennis Talk term (at least that's the only place I've seen it).

Well, that's a nice story, as well.

CYGS is not a nonsensical term! The term Grand Slam is nowadays used to denote the highest tennis category. Note that I write consistently about AO, RG, Wimbledon and USO as grandslams or Grand Slam tournaments. CYGS was created due to differentiate so that people don't confuse two concepts - the highest tennis category and winning all four GS titles in one year.
