Djokovic won by far the most finals over ATGs in the Open Era

[Phoenix1983]

Thread bump since Thiem won one Slam.

There's a fair chance that Octopus will lose this bet.

Double digit finals won against ATGs (10+ Slam finalists) in the Open Era


2) Lendl 29 (8 vs McEnroe, 6 vs Becker, 6 vs Wilander, 4 vs Edberg, 2 vs Connors, 2 vs Borg, 1 vs Sampras)
3) Becker 27 (14 vs Edberg, 7 vs Lendl, 3 vs Wilander, 1 vs Sampras, 1 vs Connors, 1 vs McEnroe)
6) Federer 23 (10 vs Nadal, 6 vs Djokovic, 5 vs Murray, 2 vs Agassi)
10) Borg 16 (8 vs Connors, 4 vs McEnroe, 4 vs Lendl)
11) Edberg 15 (5 vs Becker, 3 vs Lendl, 3 vs Wilander, 1 vs Agassi, 1 vs McEnroe, 1 vs Connors, 1 vs Sampras)

Thanks to Lew now we've proof:

Lendl, Becker underrated; Borg, Federer, Edberg overrated

You are wrong. There is only one thing that could prevent me from honoring this bet: Death.

lmao or a ban

 

[Third Serve]

Keep in mind it's gonna be a long time till the bet is decided; at least a few years realistically if you're right, and more than a decade if I'm right.

Think we can call this one a little early.

 

[Tennfan123]

Okay.

 

[BauerAlmeida]

Murray and Courier should both count, or neither should.

 

[GoatNo1]

Remove Murray, as you should, and Novak Djokovic/Lendl are tied at the top.

no not remove, we should add some wins over raz and sinner, if not now then soon enough!

Pushing MÙRRAY to ATG level is very dangerous example of fan favouring one player .
3 Slam are 3 only. Yes Murray played in the most difficult era with 3 ATG stopping but to become ATG you have to beat ATG .

Someone had to bump this up lol.

I think in other eras he wins 3 to 5 slams. No more. So it is what it is at this pt.

I don't like the arbitrary atg count though. Murray is much closer to Becker than Becker is to djokovic. What atg.

No disrespect to Sir Murray but 3 is way too less to be in discussion of ATG LIST.
We have to give credit to Murray to win 3 slam and reaching #1 ranking which seemed to be big3 monopoly but to elevate murray to ATG is like bending the rule.
