Allen or Arthur edit

Hello Wfmarshall. You've changed "Frank Allen Sedgman" into "Frank Arthur Sedgman" but according to the Newport Hall of Fame, Sedgman's second name was "Allen" so I've reverted it but if you have a good source saying it is "Arthur" you can undo my edit.

Records and Achievements edit

Lots of good stuff in this articel but I think a number of Sedgman's records and Achievements are not mentioned or given relevant prominence. For example: - he won the triple crown twice, second only to Tilden for male players and only matched subsequently by one other (Neale Fraser)9; - he is the only male player to win the triple crown in two different Grand Slam tournaments; - his double and mixed doubles records are very significant and would be better highlighted if there was a performance timeline for each of these; - at some stage he passed Tilden's 21 total GS (highest for a male) and held this record for some time (be useful to highlight this); - he is the only male, matched by Tilden to win at least 5 GS tournaments in each discipline (noting various qualifications as to when this was possible).
