Connors seems to have a lot of these

[vincayou]

McEnroe - Leconte : 10-0

1989 FRA V USA Q U.S.A. Carpet RR 6-3 6-1
1988 Paris Indoor France Carpet R32 7-5 6-1
1987 World Team Cup Germany Clay RR 2-6 7-5 6-1

1983 Sydney Indoor Australia Hard F 6-1 6-4 7-5
1982 USA V FRA F France Clay RR 6-2 6-3
1982 Wembley England Carpet Q 6-3 7-5
1982 Montreal / Toronto Toronto, Canada Hard Q 7-6 6-2

On a side note, McEnroe is 4-0 against Noah making the French double.
Wilander is 11-2 against Leconte, quite good but not good enough, sorry Mats.
Sampras - Pioline : 9-0, that was close as well.

It would be nice to have a sum up of all turkeys in the first post.

I'm pretty sure this thread was started with Roddick in mind.

Sampras - Todd Martin : 18-4

Actually, it was during the discussion of whether Gonzo is to became a double-pigeon after the AO final I suppose

Sorry, couldn't resist

hey, my english is getting RUSTIER

(is it said correctly?)

[vincayou]

I wonder who is the ultimate turkey. Given the answers so far, the classic turkey is a guy who spent all his career in the top 30 but never made it to the very top.

[vincayou]

Boetsch was beaten 10-0 by Edberg but won their last meeting in 96, escaping the turkey status.

[Action Jackson]

Brad Gilbert was 0-16 against Lendl and 4-15 against Edberg.

He made number 3 in the world and never made a Slam semi final.

[RonE]

Goran Ivanisevic almost made the cut against Greg Rusedski and leads 9-1. Unfortunately he blew it by losing their last match in Auckland in 2002 despite handing out a bagel to Greg in that match
