The most lopsided Grand Slam final in tennis history was the 1988 French Open final, when Steffi Graf of FRG pummeled Natasha Zvereva of USSR 6-0, 6-0. The entire match lasted merely 34 minutes.
In tennis jargon, winning a set 6-0 is called a bagel. Winning two sets at love is called a double bagel. Winning three sets at love, only possible in a best-of-five match, is, unsurprisingly, referred to as a triple bagel. Triple bagels are extremely rare in professional tennis.
In modern professional tennis, winning a big tournament is considered a greater achievement than winning several smaller tournaments of the same combined value. Hence, top players typically concentrate on bigger tournaments and only play a few smaller ones in between. Consequently, top players play and win fewer matches than before. Since Ivan Lendl won 106 out of 115 matches he played in 1982, nobody won more than 90 matches in a single season, except Roger Federer, who went 92-5 in 2006.
