* I'm aware that there was a thread on this before but it offered no stats and had just a few replies. Doubles stats are there because Yevgeny was exceptionally great in doubles but maybe that shouldn't be looked at when comparing them. Also wanted to include some of Federer - Kafelnikov matches, unfortunately they seem to have been scrubbed off the youtube.
