Fred Perry won 3 Wimbledon, 3 US Opens, 1 Australian Open, and 1 French Open all between 1934 and 1936...as an amateur! He also won several doubles titles in the same time period. By turning pro in 1936 the British tennis community turned against him. Interestingly, his dominant number one streek comes close to overlaps with the American Golfer Bobby Jones who had similar success as an amateur.

Fred Perry also won the 1929 World Table Tennis Championship! It is pretty phenomenal being the best in the world at two different sports!
