Do you think there will ever be another player to win both singles and doubles in a grand slam?

Yevgeny Kafelnikov was the last one to do it in the 1996 French open.
I don't think the "triple crown" (singles, doubles, mixed) will ever be possible in a single grand slam again but I think the "double" might still be doable or is it just too physically difficult in the current era?

At first, decades ago I was told I need to be able to fit 2 fingers in the gap between my fingertips and my palm when holding my grip. I followed this rule for years, then an experienced coach told me it should be 1 finger, not 2. Then I came across a guide that said 0 fingers, basically as small as possible.
Three totally different rules and all from coaches and sources that seemed credible to me.

I'm starting to figure out that the grip size depends on your game style, it should be more suited to benefit your style or to help your weaknesses?

I feel like when I use the 2 finger rule I get less wrist snap, less feel and touch, harder to change grips - opposite effects for 0 fingers.
When I use 0 fingers my hand twists a lot and I get blisters, I grip it tighter, feels awful when returning a big serve - opposite effects for 2 fingers.

I'm learning that the correct grip size isn't just a number. It's whatever matches your game style. Flat players, a smaller grip is working against you. If you're hitting heavy spin with a large grip then you're not maximizing your spin.

Richard Gasquet had a massively enlarged butt cap and used 4 1/2.
Nadal had a 4 1/4 grip and he was 6 foot 1.
Sampras used 4 5/8.

What grip size are you using and do you even know why?
