How much importance in assessing a player's greatness do you place on him winning 250 and 500 level tournaments.
For example: of Federer's 84 tournament wins, 46 (54.76%) of them have come at Grand Slams, Year End, and Tennis Masters Series. Compare that to Nadal, 41 of 65 (63.08%), or Djokovic 33 of 50 (66%).
Nadal will likely overtake Federer in total slams and Novak will likely overtake Federer in total Tennis Masters Series tournaments.
However, Federer with 38 tournaments at 500 and 250 level, will most likely not be eclipsed by Nadal (23) and Djokovic (17).
Does Federer winning all those "mickey mouse" tournaments mean something to his career valuation?
