This second part of the article analyzes tournament specific (TS) Sanyaku ranks by player. Since the beginning of the ope era only two players became TS Yokozuna at all four Grand Slams, both of them ladies: Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf (see the tables below the article).
Next are Margaret Court, Chris Evert, Roger Federer and Ivan Lendl, whose lifetime yield is three TS Yokozuna ranks and one TS Ozeki rank. However, Court would be a four-fold TS Yokozuna were her pre open era Wimbledon results also counted. Evert arguably misses the full score only because she skipped the Australian Open in her prime. No such factors apply to Federer and Lendl though. Both have one genuine "weak" Slam where the made it "only" to Ozeki: the French Open in the case of Federer, and Wimbledon for Lendl.
Stefan Edberg and Monica Seles also assembled three TS specific Yokozuna ranks, and complement it with a Sekiwake rank at the fourth slam. The "ordinary" Yokozuna Lendl and Edberg therefore outscore Dai-Yokozuna Pete Sampras (TS Yokozuna at Wimbledon and the US Open) on the TS count. Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg are also further down the list, but this is because Laver's open era career was brief, while Borg skipped the Australian Open in most years.
In general, there is a fairly good match between a player's overall career Sanyaku rank and the highest TS rank he achieved. There are important exceptions, however.
- Six male and one female overall Ozeki attained a TS Yokozuna rank: Guillermo Vilas and Johan Kriek at the Australian Open; Jan Kodes, Sergi Bruguera and Gustavo Kuerten at the French Open; and Pat Rafter and Tracy Austin at the US Open.
- Conversely, two overall Yokozuna--Hana Mandlikova and Lindsay Davenport--did not move above Ozeki in the TS rankings.
- Career-high Sekiwake Wendy Turnbull attained TS Ozeki rank at two Grand Slam tournaments; 12 male and 5 female overall Sekiwake did so at one Grand Slam tournament.
- There is even one overall Komosubi--Regina Marsikova--who is TS Ozeki at the French Open. This combination is possible only when a player advanced to the semifinals (but no further) of the same tournament three consecutive times--which is exactly what Marsikova did at Roland Garros between 1977 and 1979.
- Finally, 6 male and 5 female overall Ozeki did not attain any TS Ozeki rank. These are: Roscoe Tanner, Kevin Curren, Miloslav Mecir, Petr Korda, Carlos Moya, Magnus Norman, Renata Tomanova, Sue Barker, Dianne Fromholtz, Betty Stove, and Anastasia Myskina.
