Consecutive years with at least one Grand Slam title[edit]

We should include back this table (deleted sometime in mid-april 2021) for analysing career spans with consistent level of success. All players have some off-seasons, but keeping high level year after year to win a major is a significant achievement showing discipline, mental fortitude, consistency - key elements of great tennis players.

Most consecutive years with at least one Grand Slam title[edit]

Years Span Player(s)
10 2005–2014 Spain Rafael Nadal
8 1974–1981 Sweden Björn Borg
8 1993–2000 United States Pete Sampras

It's kind of weak but it really doesn't belong here. Maybe at List of Grand Slam–related tennis records or All-time tennis records – Men's singles. Fyunck(click) (talk) 04:06, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This chart existed in all-time article a few years back before the revamped cleaned up version, if my memory serves me right. It's been awhile since I've delved into said article in more depth. I say, put the chart in the all-time article. Putting it in the slam records article would open up a whole new can of worms, wherein you'd be giving the option to add more akin records in the list. Whilst I am an advocate of slam related records, the aforementioned table fits better in the all-time article. @Fyunck(click):, which one you think'd be more pertinent the above chart in: slam records or all-time article?

I'm not totally sold that we need it, and I'm not sure which article would be best. You made good points. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:53, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done It's bolded because it's the record for the Amateur Era, not because he's active. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:31, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change the flag of Manolo Santana from the current one (fascist) to the actual Spanish flag (the same as Rafa Nadal) 217.105.4.11 (talk) 21:21, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For French Wimbledon combination under the two titles section, Nadal's should be grouped together like in all other categories. So, 2008 and 2010 should be in one column, and then Nadal in the second column spanning across both of these rows. 168.18.168.28 (talk) 16:32, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only time that is done is when no other year intervenes with another player. Federer won two in 2009. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:07, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
