Best Two Time Australian Open Champion (Poll)

Posted by Dan Martin on

Tennis has produced a lot of two time Australian Open champions.  All of the solo winners plus Andre Agassi (4), Roger Federer (4) and Mats Wilander (3) are not eligible, but who was the best player to win the crown twice?

    I’d say Edberg because he won his 2 on grass and Australia really should have a grass court slam.

      If I was pushed, I’d pick Lendl because in 88 he was a semifinalist, 89 & 90 champion, and 91 runner-up. That is a 25-2 record over 4 years. He was very consistent down under and it took a herculean effort/rabid crowd for Cash to beat him in 5 sets in 1988.

    Kriek, because he got inside his opponents’ heads from the very warm-ups, feeding him lobs with pinpoint, near-otherworldly accuracy.
