Jean Borotra and Jacques Brugnon, the two lesser know, but very valuable part of the foursome, also had important wins between them.
Borotra was nick-named the "Bounding Basque", because of his acrobatic pranks in front of thousands during big matches.
Just as it is today, a Grand Slam title was the mark of greatness, and the Frenchmen as a team, won a total of 51 singles and doubles crowns, 49 of them (except Cochet's 1922 French singles and 1945 doubles win) within the 12 years between 1924 and 1936.
