Another trivia on the similar theme: singles and doubles success.

Since 1990 (the emergence of the Masters Series) there were only 3 players who have multiple titles in both singles MS (1000 series) and doubles. One is Rafael Nadal. Who are the other two?

I would venture Murray. Got to think about the other one.

Sorry,

I forgot that I was missing 90 and 91 results in doubles. This actually would change this list a lot ((
So we'll have to move the start of the period to 92...

I know Becker was one but I'm not sure if your before/after 1992 changes that up.

I did guess the other one, but he was my fourth guess after checking three incorrect ones, so I'll wait for other people.

Without even looking at doubles, neither Gambill nor Spadea never won singles MS. ))

Becker would've been on the list if we count 90-91 doubles results. But considering conditions of this particular trivia (since 92) - he is not.

Ok, I found both players but I felt like I had to verify so many of them. I did have to check because I had so many wrong guesses. I'll let people guess before posting.

They are not very surprising actually, just not necessarily top of mind.

I ventured Murray. I will propose Tsonga. Maybe a doubles at Paris, with one of the good other french players?

I have too, but ditto the verifying so many. The first not so hard, but the second I lacked belief he would have won two singles MS1000 titles and looked up many others that didn't win any doubles titles instead.

I'll let people guess (and verify) before posting.

Nope on both - has to be at least two masters in both singles and doubles. Andy doesn't have any doubles. Tsonga's has one. It is, indeed, with Benneteau, but it's from Shanghai.
