NOOOO!! Comparing players is wrong!! You're a nad...fed...toptentard!!

Just keeding

Pretty interesting with Roddick up at 4, and soderling down at 8. By the way, I'm assuming you added titles and finals up, then divided the titles by that total to get winning percentage? If so, how did you get Nadal as having 77%? 43+18=61 43/61=70.5. I've recalculated a couple of times and maybe I'm doing something wrong, but can't seem to get near 77%, even by mistyping maybe.
not trolling, just the number seemed pretty high.

^^^ I accidentally put down 18 for finals. The true number is 13.

My mistake, sorry.

I know the internet is serious business and next time I wont fail at it.

I never understood this kind of analysis. This is what I mean.

If Federer for example, instead of getting to 28 finals, had lost in the first round of those tournaments - then would that constitute a highly superior performance for Federer than the one he actually did? After all his finals winning percentage would then be 100% !

Of course not, because getting to a final is an achievement in itself!

Often heard this argument about Lendl who was 8 wins 11 finals in Grand Slams. People would say - look Lendl can't even win 50% of his Grand Slam finals. My reply was - so it would have been a vastly superior career performance if he would have lost in the first round of those 11 tournaments? (Again making his finals win percentage 100%).

Everybody would only play a final to win it. This statistic isn't a measure of career performance - rather it is more of a regard to a player's fitness level, and their ability to play their best at the right time.

What the statistic doesn't show however are the significance of finals competed in. For example prior to his runner-up this week Davydenko won 80% of his finals. This was particularly because he liked to constest smaller 250 events with weaker competition.
