I've been meaning to see if we can draw up and keep updated a list of current British World Champions or current holders of majors in sports such as Tennis and Golf where the most significant honours are split across different events.
We started one here in 2013 and other names were added in 2014 but that will be out of date now.
I'm really hoping Janik has a big chunk of relevant names at his fingertips again and I will start with the sport that prompted my repeated reflection on the issue ,
