Definition of '27/28 Slam wins’: when, across a stretch of 4 separate Slams, a player manages to win 27/28, Slam matches. This obviously requires at least 3 Slam wins across 4 consecutive Slams.
The most recent example is Djokovic's AO-USO '21 (7 Ws at AO, 7 Ws at RG, 7 Ws at Wimby, 6 Ws at USO = 27/28)
How would you rank these?
Novak Djokovic (AO 1R-USO F '21) - LOSS = USO '21 F
Novak Djokovic (RG '18 1R - RG '19 QF) - LOSS = RG '18 QF
Novak Djokovic (WB '15 1R - WB '16 3R- includes NCYGS) - (also could choose AO '15 1R-USO '15 F, technically)
Novak Djokovic (WB '11 1R - RG '12 F) (also could choose AO '11 1R - AO '12 SF, technically)
Rafael Nadal (AO '10 1R - AO '11 4R) - LOSS = AO '10 QF
Roger Federer (FO '09 1R - AO '10 F) - LOSS = USO '09 F
Roger Federer (AO 1R-USO F 2007) - LOSS = RG '07 F
Roger Federer (AO 1R-USO F 2006) (also included here is WB '05 1R-RG '06 F)
Andre Agassi (RG '99 1R- AO '00 F) - LOSS = WB '99 F
Pete Sampras (RG '93 1R - RG '94 4R) LOSS = RG '93 4R
Ivan Lendl (USO '85 1R - USO '86 F) (AO not held in 86) LOSS = WB '86 F
Bjorn Borg (RG '80 1R - RG '81 F) LOSS = USO '80 F
Bjorn Borg (RG '78 1R - RG '79 F) - (also includes WB '78 1R- WB '79 F)
Jimmy Connors (AO '74 1R - AO '75 F) - LOSS = AO '75 F
and of course, CYGS by Laver in 1969.
near misses include Nadal's 08-09, Federer's 09, Wilander's 88, McEnroe's 84, Rosewall 1970-71, a couple others.
How would you rank these? Tiers would be fine as well.
