Many years ago on an English tv program a 100000 pounds prize was given should any pair bid and make two grandslams consecutively. The odds of this happening were deemed astronomical and an insurance company insured against it happening with the sponsor. needless to say it did not happen ! Lucky for the insurance company they did not have these hands and the north south pair !!
