William Renshaw, who won six times between 1881 and 1886, holds the record for the most consecutive Wimbledon singles victories before 1968. However, Björn Borg and Roger Federer both achieved the feat five times in a row during the Open Era, from 1976 to 1980 and 2003 to 2007, respectively.

Three times in the same year, Borg advanced to the finals of the French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open (1978, 1980–81). He didn't lose a set while competing in those tournaments and took home three major titles. He never won the US Open, despite finishing runner-up four times.
