Wimbledon/USO double vs AO/USO double

federer has also done it in 2004,2006 and 2007

How often has FO+Wimby happened? I am guessing not too often and I am guessing Borg had done it a few times (without googling).

I know Fed did it all those years but my thread is about winning Wimbledon and then the USO in the same calendar year or winning the AO and then the USO in the same calendar year without having won any other slam that year.

In other words, winning 2 slams in a year. Not 3 or 4 but 2 slams, Wimbledon/USO double vs AO/USO double.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can remember Rafa doing it in '08 & '10 & Fed doing it in '09.

Regarding winners of RG+Wimby in the same calendar year, my search showed the following:

Fred Perry - '35
Lew Hoad - '56

Rod Laver - '62, '69

Borg - '78, '79, '80

Nadal - '08, '09

Federer - '09

Connors, MacEnroe, Sampras, Edberg, Becker, Newcombe, and Tilden had no French titles.

Lendl and Wilander had no Wimby titles.

So, the above list is most likely the full list.

oh i see,
my bad

AO + FO & FO + USO are the two hardest doubles to do. I'd say the channel double is 3rd followed by AO + USO double.

The real GOAT has done 2/4 and the Channel double twice
