Number 19. 5 matches in just less than 19.5 hours. Damn.....

 

[Homeboy Hotel]

Basically a stat that means nothing

 

[Sysyphus]

The usual slow ones are amply represented I see ;-)
I remember that Safin run in 04 well. That was crazy. He was spent by the final.

Number 19. 5 matches in just less than 19.5 hours. Damn.....

About four hours per match on average... That's heavy!

19. Niklas Kulti RG 1991 – 19 hr 21 min (5 matches)

Daaayyyum!

 

[RF-18]

Cred to him for reaching that far playing five four hours matches. Thats some serious thing.

 

[Kalin]

More telling would be the stat showing the least time spent on court for someoone who played in all 7 matches (especially if they went on and won the whole thing).

 

[Rock Strongo]

Kulti had his marathon run to the quarterfinals in 1992. Three five-setters, including an 8-6 final set against Chang.

 

[Noleberic123]

Im surprised Rafa AO 12 is first...

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Niklas Kulti, will always remember him for that Davis cup match against Boetsch, had 3 consecutive trophy points and lost. Must have hurt being a Swede that day.

I vote for a thread to be made about this.

I'm surprised to see the 09 AO not there for Rafa.

 

[Carsomyr]

I'm surprised to see the 09 AO not there for Rafa.

From memory, I'm pretty sure he breezed by everyone up until the Verdasco semi. I remember the commentators positing some ridiculous thoughts about how Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic were trying to "send statements" to each other by walloping their early round opponents.
