Eras at a glance

Dynasties & streaks

The whole history as bands of colour — each champion’s run from first title to last.

Read across and the eras stand out as blocks of colour: Connors and McEnroe trading the title, the Lendl years, the long Federer–Nadal–Djokovic share; and on the women’s side Evert, then Navratilova and Graf, then the Serena era. Each band spans a champion’s first title to their last.
