Most calculations from TheBigThree here: https://****************.com/threads/who-has-a-good-winning-percentage-against-big-3.1017760/#post-42657820

Other calculations by me.

Alcaraz is 2-2, 50%, and 2-0 100% in the last two matches. If he has at least another 4 matches against them, and wins more than 75% of those matches, he'll surpass everyone on that list. If he wins at least 60%, he will surpass everyone except Hrbaty.

Let me know if I missed someone (with at least 8 matches against them) or did a miscalculation.

What it tell us?
For those that only have 8 matches against them, perhaps not much, but for those with more than 15 matches against them, I think it's a pretty good measure of their peak level, since the top players in this list either had a very high level in general or were able to raise their level when playing against the Big Three. Obviously distorted a bit by those who only played them only early or late in their careers, but not meaningless.

Also, the Hrbaty part is just funny, mostly a statistical anomaly as he never made top 10, but he did make it to no. 12.
