Losing less than 10 matches in a season

[McEnroeisanartist]

After going 70-6 in 2011, Novak is 45-9 in 2012. I assume he will lose another match this season.

Nadal has amazingly never achieved this in a season in his career. Although, if wins at least another 23 matches this season and loses no more than 3 times, he will have achieved this in 2012.

From 2004-2007, Federer won at least 65 matches and loss than 10 matches in each season. This sustained level of consistency across an entire season just seems out of this world.

Where do you get all these stats from? Is there an easy interface to a database to search these?

You should know that Nadal has the best winning percentage at the French Open, losing only once to Soderling in 2009. Nadal also holds one more French Open title than Bjorn Borg.

Yes, I do know that. Quite amazing to say the least. One of the great achievements in tennis, amazing that he has't managed to win the tournament 5 years in a row, something that Federer did at two different Grand Slams .

7 losses and people say Nadal isn't anywhere near his prime? it's either than or he's currently playing in a weak era to achieve a great percentage whilst not being in his "prime"

He's in his prime of course! He's 27, not 32.

But Nadal is the only person to ever issue someone 80% of their losses for a season
