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

#4 Roger Federer, Switzerland

Swiss Roger Federer kisses the trophy

Is there any tennis record that this man is not a part of?

The Swiss maestro is widely regarded as the greatest male tennis player to have ever existed. With 20 grand slam singles to his name, he is the most decorated male tennis player of all time.

Federer has managed to win eight Wimbledon titles, six Australian Opens, five U.S. Opens and one French Open title during his remarkable career.

The only time Federer won the French Open was in 2009 winning against Soderling in the final.

Federer had lost three successive finals to his arch-rival Nadal at Roland Garros before that. This was Federer's best shot at completing a career grand slam as he had already won the other three grand slams before that on a number of occasions.

Federer backed up his French open success by winning yet another Wimbledon title at all England club defeating Andy Roddick in a five-set thriller to become only the fourth man in history to win Wimbledon and French Open in the same year.

Over the years Federer has managed to win Wimbledon again multiple times but his 2009 triumph at Roland Garros remains his only French Open title.
