Hall of Fame
Most tennis fans and historians alike would consider the following players to be among the Top 10 Best Players of the last 30 years:
Roger Federer
Pete Sampras
Bjorn Borg
Jimmy Connors
Andre Agassi
John McEnroe
Ivan Lendl
Mats Wilander
Stefan Edberg
Boris Becker
Note: Many might think Rafael Nadal has entered this top 10.
I thought it would be interesting to compare the head-to-head records of 9 of the players against each other (I, of course, excluded Federer).
Below is what I found:
Sampras 52-31 (62.65%)
Borg 29-17 (63.04%)
Connors 41-78 (34.45%)
Agassi 41-37 (52.56%)
McEnroe 60-67 (47.24%)
Lendl 93-72 (56.36%)
Wilander 35-37 (48.61%)
Edberg 54-66 (45.00%)
Becker 67-63 (51.54%)
The rivalries I found most surprising were:
Borg-Lendl 6-2
Becker-Edberg 25-10
Connors-Edberg 6-6
Wilander-Connors 5-0
