Can Nadal maintains a 90+ winning percentage for the rest of the 2022 ?

i think he will. 20-1 now, probably go 19-1 on clay, maybe 4-1 or 5-1 on grass, 11-1 on summer hard.

That leaves him at 59-4 (.937)

He can go like you 5-3 indoor and still be .901.

I see .900 or like .890 like the worst case scenario for him. 9500 points or so will be good enough for YE#1.
I think he can do it too despite of his injury that he will miss part of the clay season.
 
You're right. I will add this to the list.



Actually it's 54-5(.915)

Federer in 2017 was wild. He only lost the dominance ratio twice (Zverev and Delpo). Won more and the dominance ratio vs Donsky, Haas, and Goffin.

2004 Federer lost the dominance ratio 6 or 7 times (don’t have stats of Berdych match) (80 matches)
2005 Federer lost the dominance ratio 3 times (85 matches)
2006 Federer lost the dominance ratio 4 times (97 matches)
2007 Federer lost the dominance ratio 5 times (77 matches)
2008 Federer lost the dominance ratio 12 times (81 matches)
2009 Federer lost the dominance ratio 11 times (73 matches)
2010 Federer lost the dominance ratio 10 times (78 matches)
2011 Federer lost the dominance ratio 10 times (76 matche)
2017 Federer lost the dominance ratio 2 times (57 matches)

2011 Djoko lost the dominance ratio 5 times (76 matches)
2012 Djoko lost the dominance ratio 8 times (87 matches)
2013 Djokovic lost the dominance ratio 7 times (83 matches)
2015 Djoko lost the dominance ratio 7 times (88 matches)
2020 Djoko lost the dominance ratio 6 times (46 matches)
2021 Djoko lost the do since ratio 8 times (62 matches)

2008 Nadal lost the dominance ratio 14 times (93 matches)
2010 Nadal lost the dominance ratio 9 times (81 matches)
2012 Nadal lost the dominance ratio 6 times (48 matches)

Legend
Nadal has a great start of the season but the question is can he be good and consistent enough to keep up the playing level for the rest of the year.

There's only a few legends and a handful of years with 90+ winning seasons in an open era, a testament of their greatness.

If Nadal can do it this year, which I think he's very capable of, he will tie Djokovic's 2 seasons with a 90 winning percentage.

20. Ivan Lendl (1987) .914 74-7

Nadal went 45-4, .918 in 2018.

I think it's a good idea to have a minimum number of wins(maybe 50, or even 60) to qualify for this metric. Otherwise, somebody could go 9-1 and make the list.

Either way, good list!

Yeah, but not the same 45 than 9 (45 is much closer to 50 than 9). I think 40-45 matches is a good minimum.
