G.O.A.T.
Another secondary player match-up.
Big John Isner, born April 85
Richard Gasquet, born June 86
SLAMS
3 Semifinals>1 for Gasquet
Both at 2 Quarter Exits
MASTERS
Isner 1 Title in 4 Finals to Gasquet 3 Finals
Isner 7 additional Semifinal Exits to Gasquet 4
YE Ranking
Gasquet #8, 9, 9, 10 ad 16
Isner #10, 11, 14, 14, 18
So, Gasquet with 2 additional deep final four runs at the Slams and the far better YE rankings but Isner clearly ahead on Masters results. With lower tier tournaments, Gasquet made only two 500 level finals losing both, Isner doesn't do much better with three finals. It's clear Gasquet's ranking was boosted with his well timed deeper Slam runs and on the 250 tier for whatever it's worth Gasquet has 15 titles to 13 so it's tight there too.
