ATP 5-set Records (five set)

[Bud]

Wait what 4 did Tsonga win? I remember the commentators talking about him never being in a 5 setter when he was playing Almagro at the Australian this year, so there was that match, the match with Djokovic, then Doglopov (sp?) at Wimbledon, what was the other one?

Defeated Dolgopolov at Wimbledon 2010
Defeated Brands at RG 2010
Defeated Djokovic at AO 2010
Defeated Almagro at AO 2010

I may not like Nadal, but i have to admit that this guy is someone you don't want to go to 5th set. You better finish him in 4 sets if not 3.

His 3 loses came
- in 2005 AO when Hewitt (another dogfighter) edged over him.
- 2005 Miami, when Roger Federer found his best form and blew him away in 5th set.
- 2007 Wimbledon: He missed his chances in 5th set and Federer took them.

In the later years, when his speed and strength will decrease, his record will come down. It will look more like Sampras, Agassi and Hewitt. Those were also fantastic 5 set players.

Double check again... you listed another 4-setter:

You also listed (2) 4-setters from the USO in 1981:

It would be easier to double check if you listed them by GS tournaments, Davis Cup matches and other

This list doesn't include davis cup. Everything is from the atpworldtour website and they don't list his daviscup matches

Sorry i had to get these individually cut and paste from atp's website, too much work to go over them again and organize them by GS/DavisCup and others.

I agree with the G/S losses, didn't have time to tally the wins again.

recounted the matches from my list omitting the mistakes, and i get 24-6 an 80% record.

But combined with the missing davis cup and we get 27/6

This is a nifty list. Thanks for the info. Please keep it updated.

Hewitt's and Sampras' records aren't surprising. What does surprise me is Safin's, given his rep as a major headcase. And as a few other posters have noted, Nadal and Djokovic are still in their prime and probably have more 5-setters awaiting in the future when they're no longer the young, feisty players of today. As always these stats need to be put in context.

That said, Borg's record is just otherworldly--not unlike his other records, actually. It'll be interesting to see if Nadal could stay even with him till the end, and if Connors has a comparable record himself.

OP updated base on today's matches

Based on their positions in the chart... it was pretty clear that Lu would probably win today... and he did.

Would you like to post Connor's record?

It's great too if you can cut/paste each 5-set match you count. It makes double-checking much easier.

Thanks for this thread. It is not easy to look up and get this information. Borg and Nadal are both at or near the very top of this statistic and it's also no coincidence that they are perhaps the best clay courters of all time. There is a correlation between conditioning and five set records. Then, of course, there is the mental aspect of five set matches. This thread is a very good idea and quite appropriate, especially given the Mahut-Isner epic we watched at Wimbledon. I don't see how these stats could be thought of as irrelevant. How so?

With some players, they get better at five set matches over the course of a career, while others get worse, but this is certainly important to look at it. Agassi's quote on five set matches is a good one. I'm not sure if he was the first person with this quote. I've also heard the quote that the fifth set is all "about heart", yet I'm not sure if that was originally an Agassi quote, perhaps it was a take on Becker's quote.

"The fifth set has nothing to do with tennis. The fifth set is about emotion and conditioning." - Andre Agassi

I've see on the web that Becker has been quoted as having said “the fifth set has nothing to do with tennis. It is all heart.” So, perhaps Agassi was just paraphrasing Becker above.

yep, very true. BTW 2 of his 3 five set losses have come against fed ( miami 2005 and wim 2007 ) . He's won 3 against fed though ( rome 2006,wim 2008,ao 2009 )

His other 5-set loss was against ferrer if I am not wrong ....

It was against Hewitt in the Round of 16 at the 2005 Australian Open.

Mustard (and others)

Thanks for the excellent contributions to this thread so far!

I like the fact that you're listing the matches so others can quickly see the exact records and to correct/identify any potential errors.

What I'm going to do in the next few days is create another thread listing each 5-set match for each player... linking to that in my OP (or post #2 - the placeholder). **edit** I'm not going to create a new thread. Match records and accompanying links in this thread work fine**

I'm also going to split the list up between active and inactive players to make it easier for other's to more quickly identify current players.

1992 Barcelona Olympics QF: Goran Ivanisevic def. Fabrice Santoro (6-7, 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 8-6)

these 4 back-to-back 5 sets wins were really impressive ! goran really wanted that medal for croatia... and he had nothing left in the SF against rosset.
has somebody else ever won 4 straight 5 setters in a single event ?

 

[bluetrain4]

You should probably remove the players who only have played a handful of five setters and establish a minimum number of matches (10 or 15??)

Tsonga is off to a great start with his 4-0 record, but is he really more clutch in 5 set matches than Nadal? The percentage stats would say so, but he hasn't really played enough.

 

[borg number one]

The two best clay courters and the two guys with the two most impressive five set records are Borg and Nadal. Not to mention, they are both considered two of the greatest Tennis "athletes" ever. They both definitely have some things in common!

I thought about that... but decided to leave it. IMO, most people can look logically at the number of overall matches played and realize that the more played the more difficult to keep up the high percentage.

If Tsonga loses one of his next two 5-setters, he'll drop down a bit.

I posted early this morning concerning Monfils' and Ferrer's DC rubber. Their 5-set win percentages were similar with Monfils being slightly higher... but Ferrer has more experience playing 5-set matches. Based on that, I predicted a Ferrer victory (which nearly happened after he was down a break)... but Monfils still pulled it out.

 

[tacou]

finally proof that tsonga is goat

 

[srinrajesh]

I may not like Nadal, but i have to admit that this guy is someone you don't want to go to 5th set. You better finish him in 4 sets if not 3.

His 3 loses came
- in 2005 AO when Hewitt (another dogfighter) edged over him.
- 2005 Miami, when Roger Federer found his best form and blew him away in 5th set.
- 2007 Wimbledon: He missed his chances in 5th set and Federer took them.

In the later years, when his speed and strength will decrease, his record will come down. It will look more like Sampras, Agassi and Hewitt. Those were also fantastic 5 set players.

One thing to note Rafa in 2005 was 18 and not really attained his physical peak and still growing and both is losses were before he won his first grand slam

That is interesting to note that 2 of three 5-set losses were nearly 5 1/2 years ago.

 

[Ledigs]

i think this sort of means federer is either on or off. if he even gets taken to 5 he's probably having an off day. whereas nadal can change gears WITHIN a match. He can start off badly or have bad play in certain sets and still come back to win. It's interesting !
