Who will be the first player to record 200 match wins v top 10 opponents in the open era ?

Not as troll a question as you might think...

Currently Federer is on 198 match wins v top 10 BUT :
This year, despite making semis in 2 GS's, Federer finished 1-4 vs the top ten
on top of that, he fell out the top ten himself; in all likelihood whenever he next plays one of them again
it will be early, so he can't groove himself into a run, before playing them, as previously

Also Federer has lost the most matches against top ten with 107. Total matches 198 : 107 = 64.9%

Next up is Djokovic with 176 match wins (176 : 82) = 68.2%
Then it's Nadal with 140 match wins (140 : 76) = 64.8%

Will Federer be back to advanced enough level that he can get over the line first ?

When do you think Djokovic will get over the line...?
Over the last six years Djokovic has this number of top ten match wins : 21-24-24-19-31-18 = 137 ÷ 6 = 22.83
So a (last) six yearly average of nearly 23 match wins a year (plus part of 2016 still to come)

If fed plays a full schedule next year I definitely see him beating Goffin and Milos or something.

Novak will probably surpass it but I think it'll take 3ish seasons.

Nadal barely has 60 career wins left.

Sorry to disappoint you but Nadal will be playing for many more years and winning many more titles. Federer and Novak will both retire before him. Federer is too old and Nole is mentally tired, they will probably just give up and focus on their family life. Meanwhile Rafa IS tennis, he will keep playing for years and years and also help young kids through his tennis Academy along with his beautiful girlfriend.

When will Andy Murray get over the line with 100 match wins ?
He's currently on 94 match wins...and he's on fire...This year ?

He will cross the 100 match wins if he ends as year end No.1 .... 5 wins at WTF and 2 in Paris and 1 in vienna he has 8 opportunities ...

Obviously Federer. He only needs two more!

Djokovic will overtake him though by end of next season?

Rafa leads because Djokovic's and Federer's wins are mostly on hardcourt which is an unnatural tennis surface.
