Considering that the first Grand Slam tournament took place nearly a century and a half ago, there have been remarkably few male players who have come close to winning Grand Slam singles events again and again without winning one. There were six men (Frank Riseley, Frank Hunter, Harry Hopman, Bunny Austin, Eric Sturgess and Andy Murray) who were runner up in three Grand Slams and never won one. Harry Parker, Wallace Johnson, Andre Gobert, Jean Washer, Robert Schlesinger, Frank Shields, Bill Talbert, Tom Brown, Kurt Nielsen, Herb Flam, Rex Hartwig, Luis Ayala, Steve Denton, Kevin Curren, Miloslav Mecir, Cedric Pioline, Todd Martin, Alex Corretja, Mark Philippoussis and Robin Soderling (total of 20) were runner up in two majors and never won one.
