The Golden Set (unofficial Golden Bagel ) is a term that denotes in tennis the situation when a player wins a set without losing a single draw (point) in games, thereby gaining 24 points out of 24 possible.
In professional tennis this is a rare situation and the number of known cases of a gold set does not exceed ten, three of which have been registered since 2012.
American Hazel Whiteman is the owner of a unique achievement, winning the so-called “golden match”, or two gold sets in a row (48 points out of 48 possible).
