I would say that had Agassi played a little more, especially in the Masters, he likely would have finished higher (at least 3rd). He had approximately the same winning percentage as Federer, but he played considerably fewer events.

Maybe but Agassi was, of course, a lot older than any of the others on that list and his back was giving him increasing trouble. He had to limit himself.
