run the table

The phrase "run the table" typically refers to achieving a string of consecutive victories or successes, often while facing multiple opponents or challenges. It is commonly used in sports, especially in games like pool, billiards, or snooker, where a player successfully pockets all the balls one after another without missing. Figuratively, it can also be applied in various contexts outside of sports, indicating someone's ability to accomplish or win everything they set out to do.
