Too lazy to trawl the web...plus the TTW hive mind is rumoured to be superior.
Two questions:
Federer at some point will undoubtedly earn the right to create such a joke of a schedule that he'll blatantly only be playing warm-up tourneys (and tanking out at the latter stages) so that he'll be fresh for Grand Slams. Well, non-clay ones anyway
Yes, she's only at the beginning of her career, but Jelena Ostapenko is technically currently in the running.
Looking to find out which, if any, player has ever made a similar mockery of the tour?
Ad-hoc pairings in Doubles and Mixed don't count, 'cause those can sometimes be one-off partnerships that go on a tear during a Slam and break up right after.
Is it feasible?????
