Realized how incredible Federer's 5 Consecutive Wins at 2 Slams was

[McEnroeisanartist]

I just was sitting here, having a jack and coke, eating a pizza, watching Steffi Graf on youtube, when I thought, how did she never win one Grand Slam at least four consecutive times. Then I thought about Federer winning five consecutive championships at 2 different Grand Slams. How incredible is this?

Well, Steffi Graf won 3 consecutive at 2 different Grand Slams.
Navratilova never even won 3 consecutive at another Grand Slam beside Wimbledon.
Evert never even won 3 consecutive at another Grand Slam beside the US Open.
Williams has won 3 consecutive at the US Open.

Nadal has never defended another Grand Slam beside the French Open.
Sampras never even won 3 consecutive at another Grand Slam beside Wimbledon.

Kudos to Borg for winning 4 consecutive at 2 two different Grand Slams.

Graf won the Grand Slam. That is far and above anything else.

No, not really. It is just 3 grass slams (including then-meaningless AO) and 1 RG packed next to each other.

i think it's also worth noting that wimbledon and the uso are the most prestigious of the four slams.

He was incredibly consistent but his wins on hard court were aided by lack of competition in the final.

??? 1988 Golden Grand Slam was on 3 HCs, clay and grass. Never duplicated.
