You can win 20 slams - choose your distribution

[Cortana]

5 AO
5 RG
5 Wimbledon
5 USO

Winning all slams 5 times each? Won't be broken for 200 years.

 

[Checkmate]

17 AO
1 RG
1 W
1 USO (This should be my first slam)

 

[tennisjedi]

10 AO
10 USO

Ultimate hard court specialist.

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

10 Wimbldon
3 AO
4 FO
3 UO

 

[mahatma]

5 in all slams. Make it 5 continuous years of CYGS and retirement. Craziest stories in sport that can be. Just utter domination of the sport when you played.

That’s my way of reaching 20 slams. Blitz.

This. 5 years of winning everything and then retire at the top of your game because of boredom. People will call you GOAT no matter how many slams others win.

 

[Searchlight]

10 Wimbledons
9 US Opens
1 French

Would rather be the all time champ at 2 Slams. Molla Mallory has 8 US Opens and Navratilova has 9 Wimbledons...don't care that much about Australia...

 

[AL3]

I still think Seoul in Top Spin 4 is the most beautiful experience in tennis.

It absolutely is. Do you still play in 2024? I play regularly on PC on the rpcs3 emulator. Hit me up if you ever wanna play.

 

[tennis3]

5 calendar year slams 4 years in a row.

Then ride off into the sunset as the GOAT.

5 Calendar Year Slams.

• 3 Years in a row
• 10 year retirement, then do it again around age 35
• 15 year retirement, then do it again around age 50

 

[Sudacafan]

5 times each.

 

[Sudacafan]

Most pseudo-original thread idea: who was the best 20 or more slam winner?
It's just another zillionth GOAT thread disguised in a best player with x slams thread.

 

[Shaolin]

20 Wimbledons in a row.

 

[Sudacafan]

20 Wimbledons in a row.

That might have been a British subject with panic to fly, or travel by ship, or scared of tunnels(*).

(*): I had to edit to add the tunnel exception afterwards.

I am afraid of flying but it hasn’t helped me win the USO yet unfortunately

You should be grateful about not turning into an ATP tennis pro. Your life would have been so miserable.

 

[roysid]

All 4 slams 5 time each. That will be unique. Closest is Steffi Graf who has won all 4 slams 4 times

 

[junior74]

20 W

Never lost a match

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

20 Us opens for sure. It’s always been the hardest slam to dominate. The other 3 have been dominated quite a bit by various guys. Not the us open though. Pete, Connor’s and Fed were the closest to dominate but they only won 5. Of course Tilden too but that was 30000 years ago

 

[albertobra]

I would be very happy with:

AO: 17
RG: 1
WI: 1
USO: 1

 

[Donkus_Reborn]

15 RG titles to surpass Nadal at FO

3 Wimbledon titles to surpass Nadal at Wimbledon

2 AO titles to equal Nadal.

 

[Pheasant]

The length of the career was not specified. So I will go with this. After I graduate from high school, i will train like a wild man. Then, from ages 19-23, I will bag 5 consecutive CYGS, then retire. I would be so bored of crushing the world, that I would have to quit and do something else.

20 slam titles in 5 years is substantially more impressive than 20 in 16 years like Federer did, or 22 in 18 years like Nadal, or 24 in 16 years like Djoker did.

Pheasant is now #3 all time, trailing only MuryGOAT and Benoit Paire after bagging 5 consecutive CYGS.

 

[Sport]

1 AO.
16 RG.
2 W.
1. USO.

There's nothing greater than breaking an unbreakable record. Funny how the only way to break Nadal's 14 RG is in hypotheticals.

 

[Sudacafan]

If I can't have exact 5 of each out of 20 slams, I'd go with 47 slams total in whatever fashion and not more than that, if I were a Nadal fan.

 

[SamprasisGOAT]

AO 3
RG 1
Wim 10
USO 4
YEC 2

Year End Championship is a major!

 

[zakopinjo]

20:0 at any slam

Who wants to experience such an artificially quick ascent? It's like climbing a mountain with the seilbahn rather than the via ferrata.

 

[nolefam_2024]

20 slams isn't enough. Take any combo. 24 is the goal now. In that I would take 9 wimby, 6 uso, 5 rg and 4 AO.

 

[Golden-24]

5-5-5-5. No one in the history has won a quintuple career Slam.

 

[Tennfan123]

USO 8 for the record And a little margin.
RG 7 because it’s the most attractive venue and clay rocks.
Wimbledon 3 to have more than Murray but imo grass sucks.
AO 2 to be a multi champ but least prestigious slam, far away and I’m a miserable bugger who hates the term happy slam.

 

[RS]

20 RG

 

[BorisRogerFan]

Wimbledon17
RG 1
Australia 1
US Open 1

 

[Dane_is_Finnish_OJ]

Does anyone here who is not American think USO is more "important" than Roland Garros?

It isn’t.

 

[Dane_is_Finnish_OJ]

20 at either of the slams and have an Aura like The Undertaker had at WrestleMania

Who?

 

[ppma]

10W
10RG

No credit for HC. The two extremes requiring a different set of skills.

 

[toby55555]

20 Wimbledons, nobody will forget me and I’ll have won at least 8 of them in my thirties if not 40

 

[RS]

10 RG
10 W

 

[Sport]

5-5-5-5. No one in the history has won a quintuple career Slam.

But that would represent weak domination at each Slam.

What's 5 RG compared to 14 RG? Weak domination. I'd rather ultradominate 1 Slam with double figures than having 5 at each. Having 5 at each you're not the greatest at any Slam.

 

[BorgTheGOAT]

It isn’t.

You are right. It isn’t. France has way more tennis history and clay is a way more traditional surface than hard, not to mention that the USO switched a couple of times and doesn’t have a unique status with the surface. It might appear as more prestigious since in the recent history there were way more good US players than French players.

 

[RS]

If I can't have exact 5 of each out of 20 slams, I'd go with 47 slams total in whatever fashion and not more than that, if I were a Nadal fan.

I know you are mocking but healthy Nadal 33 slams

 

[Sudacafan]

No, I am just remembering a famous thread.

Even nadal is ahead of this.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Probably answered differently the last time I was asked. I know for sure that I've always been a fair man, so there can't be too much of a difference.

5 Australian
3 France
7 Wimbledon
5 US Open

Good stuff, Kid.

 

[GoatNo1]

5-5-5-5. No one in the history has won a quintuple career Slam.

in 5 consecutive seasons!

You whishing Andy Murray even on the outside the top 1000 Wladimir Kiltschko's level.

 

[Lgoel]

Even nadal is ahead of this.

Nadal leads one slam. In this , it's 2 slam leader

 

[tennis_error]

do I have complete control over distribution? If so 5 CYGS in a row.

Or 4 CYGS in a row at the beginning of career, then retire because of being boring, enjoying life, drinking, parting like there is no tomorrow... Then come back at 40 years old, win another CYGS and retire again confirming it's boring game for you...

 

[TennisD]

4 AO
6 FO
3 WB
7 USO

Honestly I just love the USO and feel like Wimbledon would be the hardest to win with my personal game. Not really worried about holding records anywhere.

 

[RaulRamirez]

Much as I think one slam is as good as any other slam (for years now) and I generally don't care too much about distribution and who is the goat of a given slam, my answer may be at odds with that:

9 Wimbys
6 US Opens
3 RG
2 AO.

Why? I don't know. This would give me the most in the OE for the first two, and still multiples at the other two. Ask me again in a week, and ...
