Here is a fairly complete list of the accomplishments in grand slam tourneys
of various players since 1920.  French Opens that were closed to foreigners
are excluded (prior to 1925, and during Nazi occupation.)  Some players are
included for their doubles achievements, some for singles, some for both.

Corrections and inquiries are invited.

Jean Borotra (1924-1939)
----------------------
Aus  Fre  Wim  US   Tot
---  ---  ---  ---  ---
1+0  1+2  2+3  0+1  4+6         singles
1+0  5+2  3+1  0+0  9+3         doubles

Translation: Jean Borotra appeared in his first final (singles or doubles) in a
grand slam event in 1924, and his last final was in 1939.  He won 1 Australian
Open singles title, lost 0 Aussie finals, and likewise in doubles; he won
1 French Open singles and lost 2 other finals; he won 5 French Open doubles
titles and lost 2 others; he won 2 Wimbledon singles titles and lost 3 others;
he won 3 Wimbledon doubles titles and lost 1 other; he lost his only US Open
singles final, and never made it to the final in doubles there; his totals for
all four events are: 4 singles titles plus 6 losses in finals, and 9 doubles
titles plus 3 losses in finals. Not bad for a Frenchman.  :-)

   NOTE: Frank Sedgman was a few points shy of a double Grand Slam in 1952,
         appearing in all 4 singles finals and all 4 doubles finals. He won
         at Wimbledon and the US Open in singles, and the Aussie, French and

    NOTE: World War II removed many grand slam event chances from Riggs,
          Kramer, and many others.  Riggs won the triple at Wimbledon
          in 1939: Singles, doubles (w/ Elwood Cooke), and mixed doubles
          (w/ Alice Marble.)

    NOTE: The Australian and French Opens and Wimbledon were not held
          from 1940 to 1945, the heart of Kramer's career. The US Open
          was held during those years.

3+1  1+2  3+1  1+1  8+5   doubles

     NOTE: Considered by many Australians one of the greatest players
           ever (I used to hear the likes of Laver, Rosewall and
           Newcombe refer to him as such on TV.)  He turned professional
           after a short amateur career.  Came as close to a double
           Grand Slam as anyone in tennis history in 1956, playing in
           all 8 men's singles and doubles finals. Hoad won the Australian
           and French Opens, Wimbledon, then made it to the final of the
           U.S. Open and won the first set from his doubles partner, Ken
           Rosewall. Rosewall triumphed 4-6,6-2,6-3,6-3. Hoad and Rosewall
           teamed for the doubles titles at the Australian and U.S. Opens
           and Wimbledon, but Hoad and Ashley Cooper lost the French Open
           final to Don Candy and Robert Perry. Rosewall has healthy and
           available as a partner (he lost the singles title to Hoad)  ---
           so why didn't they play doubles together? Ironically, after
           Hoad switched partners to play with Neale Fraser in 1957 (winning
           the Australian Open and reaching the finals at Wimbledon), Ashley
           Cooper teamed with Mal Anderson and won the French Open title
           that eluded Hoad (and the losing team included Don Candy!) After
           Hoad and Fraser split that summer, Fraser teamed with Cooper to
           win the 1957 US Open title. Hoad helped lead Australia to Davis
           Cup titles in 1953, 1955,1956 and 1957, beating the USA 3-2 twice
           and 5-0 twice in the finals.

     NOTE: Won 5 consecutive Aussie singles titles and 6 consecutive
           French doubles titles (1960-1965).  He won those 6 titles
           with 5 different partners (Fraser twice; Laver, Stolle,
           Ken Fletcher, Manuel Santana.)  Appeared in French Open
           doubles final 10 times in 11 years (1959-1969). Was the first
           man to win each major title at least 2 times (Rod Laver was 
           the second and last.)  The only man to win the singles and
           doubles at all 4 majors, and he did it at least twice in each
           event, an incredible record. Emerson's only 3 losses in the finals
           of grand slam singles events were in 1962 to Rod Laver, during
           Laver's first Grand Slam, in the Australian Open (8-6,0-6,6-4,6-4),
           the French Open (3-6,2-6,6-3,9-7,6-2) and the US Open (6-2,6-4,5-7,
           6-4.) Emerson appeared in 42 grand slam singles and doubles finals.
