If Vince Spadea comes out of retirement and wins 30 more matches, he will have the same career win total as Sebastien Grosjean. It's freaky!

These seem like less significant stats. It's like saying, if fed wins at USO when it rains, he would have won his 6 tournament when rain was featured in the forecast in 3 days out of the 2 week event !!! Get pumped everyone this is significant.

If Fed wins the USO, he will be the first play in the entire history of the world to win the USO 2012, another record for the maestro.
