Territory off-limits for players who have not been seeded. That's how what happened in this 2024 at Grand Slam tournaments can be defined, as there wasn't a single quarterfinalist in the four majors who didn't start as one of the top 32 ranked. This had only happened once before in men's tennis since the 32 seeds were introduced in 2002; it was in 2012. Additionally, in women's tennis, it has never occurred.

Only seeded players reached Grand Slam men's quarterfinals in 2024. This happened only for the second time (also in 2012) since all four majors switched to 32 seeds in 2002.
It is yet to happen on the women' side.
