U are wrong, nakkereran.

William Renshaw was the 1st player to win 6 wimbledon titles in a row.

But that was not in the open era.

In his time, the player winning the title had to play only the final the next year.

In the open era, it is borg & now federer.

what is the maximum runs scored off a single ball in test matches and who scored those

Talking cricket in general, there are many stories, most apocryphal, that come around from time to time about the ball being lost in long grass on the village green and the batsmen running plenty before it's eventually found or declared lost. In Test cricket, however, the most runs off one ball without overthrows or penalties was equalled many times today - it's only six. As details are unavailable for every ball, it is difficult to pinpoint the highest ever scored from one ball, although Bill Frindall recalls Alan Knott scoring seven with a push to cover that resulted in two lots of overthrows.

If this story is true, however, it is undoubtedly the most runs scored off a single ball in first-class cricket. Recounted by Tony Deyal in the Trinidad Express on November 14, 1998, it reads: "Also in Australia, an invasion of locusts made visibility so difficult at a match that the game had to be abandoned. The most runs off one ball, in the days before limits were placed, also happened in Australia. Victoria, playing against Western Australia, scored 286 runs off one hit, the first delivery in the match. The ball was hit into the a branch of a very tall tree. The umpire disallowed the claim for "lost ball" because the ball was visible. While the batsmen were running, the players sent for an axe to cut down the tree but none was found. The ball was eventually shot down by one of the players using a rifle, but in the excitement nobody thought of catching the ball." Alas, no such match exists in our first-class records, so its veracity is very doubtful.
