Barty's victory at the Australian Open has also made people interested in a topic at the same time: since the Open era, who are the players who have not lost a set to win?
Today, for the time being, I will press the women's players and talk about the men's players.
In history, there have only been 11 times to win the championship without losing a set, including the French Open (7 times), the Australian Open Wimbledon 2 times each, and the US Open is not.
Personally, Nadal took the lead 4 times, Borg 3 times, Federer 2 times, and the two Elder Gods 1 time each.
Nadal's first triumph without losing a set was in 2008, when he had already won three consecutive titles at the French Open, when he was in surprisingly good shape, breaking through the finals, still in front of the net against the familiar opponent, the Swiss.
Facing Federer, he swept the final and only let his opponent get four sets, which was the most painful final defeat of Federer's career.
In 2010, after an unexpected defeat to Soderlin the previous year, Nadal made a comeback, giving the Swedes a shot back in the final.
In 2017, at this time, Nadal has been away from the Musketeers Cup for two years, and he has not touched the Grand Slam championship trophy for a long time. But in the final, he defeated the 2015 champion Wawrinka and announced the return of his king.
The last time was in 2020, when he also beat Djokovic in the final with a clean score of three straight sets to reach the Top of the French Open again.
Bjorborg has only won the French Open and Wimbledon, and has assembled 11 Grand Slam titles, which is also a spectacle in the tennis world. He won the Wimbledon, 1978 and 1980 French Opens in 1976, respectively, and made his opponents subservient with a proud record of not losing a set.
The two ancient gods Ken Rosewell achieved once at the 1971 Australian Open and Nastasia at the 1973 French Open.
Federer, a veteran of more than 20 years of tennis, won the Australian Open in 2007 and Wimbledon in 2017, spanning a period of ten years.
Coincidentally, these two events also happen to be the two events he has won the most in the Grand Slam. Especially in 2017, this time was not easy, he was rejuvenated for the second spring of his career, and he faced Croatia's Cilic in the final, which was also a three-set straight drop.
Another giant, Djokovic, has never had a record of winning without losing the game. With little left in his career, Nadal is destined to lead the pack on this list. (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
