4. Arantxa Sánchez (1989 French open – 1994 French open : 5 years)

Surprisingly, it is Arantxa Sanchez Vicario who has the same distinction as her rival of the mid 90s, Mary Pierce. Sanchez, from Barcelona, Spain is a 4 time Grand Slam winner. She also became the youngest winner of the French Open, winning it in 1989. She defeated world number 1 Steffi Graf in the finals.

Sanchez Vicario would have to wait for a long time to win a Grand Slam again after this historic feat.  She triumphed in the 1994 edition of the French Open, when she beat Mary Pierce 6-4, 6-4. However, Mary would extract revenge at the next years’ Australian Open as mentioned earlier in this article.
