Open Era Win % vs Rival ATGs ........ What does this tell you ?

Look at the desperate Nadal haters... "oh but clay... but clay"

Fail to realise that clay is one of the main surfaces...

AO09: def #2 Federer
RG12: def #1 Djokovic
WIM08: def #1 Federer
US13: def #1 Djokovic

Djok nowhere near wins against opponents of that level at the 4 majors.
Fed RG 05-07. How many players have 3 wins in a row in a late stages of a slam like that without needing a 5th setter.
 
Sampras and Federer are counted for each other.

If Sampras benefitted from being younger then what about your boy Djokovic who is also the youngest of all ATGs in his career?

So courier should not be there and Wawrinka should be there? I dont think so.... Courier has won 4 slams while Wawrinka has not, the criteria is 6GS Finals, Wawrinka doesnt make the cut.
Nadal is just one younger, plus the fact that he matured at the youngest age.

Yeah.. his best wins are against much worse versions of Nadal and Federer... then there's Alcrampaz lmfao thanks for proving my point. You've done well.

no, not his best but his wins vs highest ranked opponents.

most AO titles has nole and rafa has no wins vs him there
second most AO titles has fed and nole has 4 wins vs him

most RG titles has rafa and nole has 2 wins vs him
second most titles has borg and 3rd is a bunch of players and nole is one among them. rafa has 8th wins vs him

most W wins has fed and nole has 3 wins vs him there, rafa has one

most USO wins has fed and nole has 3 wins vs him there, rafa never met him



nole has wins in all slams, WTF and masters vs rafa there they have met each other (never met in shanghai). rafa never won vs nole in AO, miami, cinci and paris!!!!

Nah, they were his best wins and they were against the other big 3 while at their best...

Djok never did that. His resume only took off after he turned 28 and he capitalised on the worst gen of players particularly post covid.
 
If two players have only 5 matches or 10, they can't be rivals! Borg and Willander played 2 matches, Sampras and Federer played once, those were happenstances!

Why Wawrinka wasn't rival for anyone?
 
Great thread as its interesting to see the patterns of how matchups bothered players. Agassi for instance clearly struggled against other power baseliners. Connors for all his consistency struggled against other ATGs.

It does confirm to me Sampras and Borg were right up there with the Big 3 really...i think Alcaraz has to be up there already as well.

Wawrinka is not an ATG, even Murray is not but Murray is put in the list just for comparisons sake.
