Why Big 3 peak is far higher than anyone thinks

[nolefam_2024]

While going through tennis abstract stats for big 3, one thing caught my mind. It was how long the big 3 were top players by statistics and how much their stats match with non big 3 players.

For this , I sorted their years based on Total points won %, Games won % and Matches won %. I took the 10th best season for each of these categories and that is closely resembling their average over the career.

So how good were big 3 in their 10th best seasons? PRETTY DAMN GOOD. Here are the stats.

First up, Djokovic. His consistency is really unparalleled. These are the best seasons for Djokovic on tour.

TPW	Games W%	Match W%

Next up Federer.
Federer has incredible stats on Total points won due to his ATG serve.

So for big 3 in their 10th best years the stats say

Djokovic	54.90%	59.20%	84.60%
Federer	54.60%	58.80%	83.60%
Nadal	54.30%	60.10%	82.90%

This is so far above what most number 1 players have.

For comparison, I will post the best seasons by TPW% for some notable people in last 25 years.
All of these players at least reached number 3 in the world so no Tsonga/Berdych/Nishikori/etc.
Also removing Sinner who has this year reached very high numbers rivaling big 3.

Player	Year	TPW%	Games won %	Match Win %
Hewitt	2001	53.6	58.1	81.6
Roddick	2004	53.7	57.1	80.4
Del Potro	2008	53.5	57.8	74.2
Ferrer	2012	54.2	59.3	83.2
Murray	2016	54.5	60.4	89.9
Wawrinka	2016	52.4	55.2	71.9
Raonic	2016	53.0	55.0	69.1
Dimitrov	2017	53.0	55.7	72.1
Cilic	2018	53.1	55.8	69.2
Thiem	2020	52.3	55.5	73.5
Medvedev	2021	54.5	59.0	82.9
Zverev	2021	53.4	57.2	80
Alcaraz	2023	53.9	58.4	84.4

Apart from David Ferrer in 2012, Andy Murray in 2016 and Daniil Medvedev in 2021, no one at their best is even close to even 10th best seasons of big 3.

Sinner is going to make a mockery of this
