I thought it would be interesting to compare the title droughts of Federer and Nadal in their careers. Droughts of longer than 4 months.
Looking at Federer from July 2003 (when he first rose to #3) to January 2011 (same length of time frame as Nadal comparison):
11/19/07-4/19/08 (5 Months)
10/27/08-5/16/09 (6 months and 19 days)
8/24/09-1/30/10 (5 months and 6 days)
2/1/10-8/22/10 (6 months and 21 days)
Looking at Nadal from June 2005 (when he first rose to #3) to today:
10/24/05-3/3/06 (4 months and 7 days)
6/12/06-3/17/07 (9 months and 5 days)
7/23/07-4/26/08 (9 months and 3 days)
8/18/08-1/31/09 (5 months and 13 days)
5/4/09-4/17/10 (11 months and 13 days)
10/11/10-4/16/11 (6 months and 5 days)
6/6/11-4/21/12 (10 months and 15 days(
6/12/12-2/17/13 (8 months and 5 days)
