4 men who won Wimbledon and French Open in the same year

#2 Bjorn Borg, Sweden

Borg mastered the art of winning both the titles in the same year as he was victorious at both the majors three years in a row

The former world No.1 is often named amongst the greatest players of all time. Winning 11 grand slam titles, Bjorn Borg exhibited a never give up attitude every time he stepped on a tennis court. He won five Wimbledon titles and six French Open titles.

Borg mastered the art of winning both the titles in the same year as he was victorious at both the majors for three years in a row- most number of times till date.

He first achieved this in 1978 thus becoming the second man ever to win at Rolland Garros and All England club in the same year.

The Swede managed to repeat his heroics for the next two years in 1979 and 1980 thus making it three in a row.

Borg’s career was shortlived as he retired at the age of 26. This just tells us that had he played on for some more years, all-time leading grand slams chart would have been different.
