What is Golden set in Tennis?

Winning a set without losing a single point — 24 straight points across six games. It is vanishingly rare; only a handful have ever been recorded in professional tennis, most famously Yaroslava Shvedova's at Wimbledon 2012.

Example: She was two points from a golden set before finally dropping one.
