In yesterday’s post on Rafael Nadal’s drive to the clay-court winning streak record, I erroneously reported that the record belongs to Thomas Muster, who won 40 tournament matches in a row on clay. (The mistakes slipped through here because the Yahoo! link I used contained erroneously reported information.) The record actually belongs to Guillermo Vilas, who won 53 straight on clay. Also, Borg’s 31-match streak, previously just the sixth-best streak but one about which some people made a big deal (hence my post), was not even the former Swedish star’s own best. Borg is right behind Vilas in second place on the all-time list with a 46-match streak, one rung above Muster and his 40 in the record book. Hat tip to my colleague Tony Lance for this catch!
