Achievements and Records

Might be preferable to note that he was the first male non-USA player to win the US National Championships. (Mabel Cahill had done this 1891/92). More significant than this was that he was the first to win Major Championship tournaments in two countries first achieved in winning the 1902 US men's doubles (had 5 previous Wimbeldon men's double wins) then in 1903 won the singles and doubles for both Wimbeldon and the US Open, further extending this with the same combination in 1904 at Wimbeldon creating a three win double streak over three consecutive Major Championships. The lead paragraph states that he was a six time Grand Slam champion but he was actually an 16 time champion in singles (6) and doubles (10). The section on the Davis Cup is reasonably informative but the key issue is that he has. 12-0 record for Davis Cup matches in singles and doubles - a rare achievement to be unbeaten. For the Olympics, also reasonably covered, it does not mention that his two golds and one bronze medal in the three disciplines at the one Games is matched only by his brother (Reginald, also in 1900) and Suzanne Lenglen (1920, Antwerp).

Should have added re. Olympics - until Vincent Richards won 2 gold and a silver medal in the three disciplines in Paris, 1924. Since the reintroduction of tennis to the Olympics in 1988 no person has won medal in all three disciplines at the same Games. Antipodenz (talk) 22:48, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
