@SiaWinsi A lot of noted players NEVER won the French, such as Newcombe, Sampras, Becker, MeEnroe, to name but a few. So, not just Connors. Perchance all those I've given here were also, Wimbledon winners, and also US Open winners, for that matter.Then you come to the obverse of this. Borg - who wins both the French and Wimbledon,prolifically, but never wins the US. [ And - a lot of half-assed mongrels won the French, like, paticularly, Carlos Moya, and Juan Carlos Ferrero.]..,
Litteral translation "in the second round, Forget was defeated by yet another great player (he had beaten Nastase in the first round), Jimmy Connors, then World n°2, after giving him a hard time though... 1982 was a year when Forget was still a leading junior player, winning the Orange Bowl, the Athens trophy and the Italian Championships..."
Jimmy Connors never won The French Open.

@Richardhedditch261 Though he did win the US Open when it was on clay, grass, and hard court, so technically hes won a major on all three surfaces

@Richardhedditch261 Nice facts but what does this have to do with Conners being the only one out of the names you gave ever to win a major on clay?
