It was Wimb'12-Wimb'13 stretch without RG entered, though, i.e. four GS finals out of four GS entered in 12.5 months period.
So, if Murray made the USO'16 finals without the title, his best 12.5 months period would still be Wimb'12-Wimb'13 or even arguably 10 months during USO'12-Wimb'13 with two GS + F compared to possible one GS + 3 F in about 8 months this year.
It's slightly more common for two players to equally share 4 consecutive slams though. E.g. After Wimbledon 2011 (Djokovic & Nadal) or after FO 2009 (Federer & Nadal).
Just a year premature... :lol:
Alternating Fedal in 2017 deliver another first in the Open Era.
I believe this joint feat was only accomplished one other time in history, exactly 50 years earlier.
In 1967, Roy Emerson took the Australian Championships and the French Championships, and John Newcombe took the Wimbledon Championships, and the US National Championships.
