Djokovic 17-3 in 2008; Safin 1-4

[LeftyServe]

Slow day at work, so I wanted to take a look at the current 2008 Win-Losss records of the top 100 as if they were basketball teams or baseball pitchers. Of course, all wins are not equal (and if you look at the race, Federer is still #4 even though 28 players have more wins than him this year), but it gives an interesting perspective on who's hot and who's slipping away....

1. Djokovic: 17-3
2. Nadal: 16-5

Wow--Federer is 28th...that is unreal.

 

[Kobble]

Safin 1-4, sounds like he is right on track.

I have a feeling Fed will have a tough year. He may not even win Wimbledon.

 

[Tshooter]

OK, I'll make a guess. I think Safin will out of the sport within a year.

^^^I'd have to agree especially now that I heard he is planning to dive to the bottom of the ocean

OK, I'll make a guess. I think Safin will out of the sport within a year.

Not a hard one though, pretty obvious. He said he is retiring in 2009, if he keeps on playing like this he might retire earlier so yes, you are right but no you are not Nostradamus.

Retiring in 2009? Damn. Loved watching that russian play. I guess its time though, he hasnt played good tennis since 2005.

these rankings are for me, a little inaccurate. first of all, if you're gonna rank players according to their win-loss records, you should rank them according to their winning percentages, not just number of wins. based on that list federer has a greater winning percentage than querrey. that ranking is unfair since some players played more tourneys than the other.

 

[Rhino]

Wow--Federer is 28th...that is unreal.

Yes but he's only played 3 tournaments. He'd have to have won all three of them to get to 17 wins.

 

[daddy]

Yes, he is 4th in the ATP race for this year with only 3 tournaments so that is enough for itself to prove these rankings are bs. But they can show how many matches they played .. he is low in that dept.

 

[Teyko]

Safin may turn it around who knows?
