According to many experts, that would be Ken Rosewall.
Of his 11 attempts, he made the Final 4 times, but did not achieve title. (Due to non-acceptance of professionals in the Wimbledon event at the time, he spent 11 years away from the tournament.)
He is widely accepted as one of the Greatest players of all-time. He was World No 1 during both - amateur and open eras and for some time on the professional circuit, and won Grand slam singles in all 3 other Majors - French, Australian and US, as well as being a superb doubles player. He and Lew Hoad were almost an unbeatable combination in their earlier careers before Ken turned professional. Rosewall was only 18 when he first took both - French and Australian titles. He possessed one of the most formidable backhands of all-time.
