[Bothsidesx2hands]

2008 was Nole, no?

 

[FedererWinsWimbledon2014]

Combined YE #1 AND WTF

11: Federer and Sampras
9: Lendl
7: McEnroe
6: Connors
5: Nastase
4: Hewitt, Borg
3: Djokovic, Becker, Edberg, Nadal

 

[Mayonnaise]

2008 was Nole, no?

The second list is YE#1s.

 

[spirit95]

The second list is YE#1s.

So is the first.

 

[Mayonnaise]

So is the first.

Didn't figure out what the first is, but it isn't just YE#1s. Because Federer has 5 of those, and Sampras has 6.

 

[FedererWinsWimbledon2014]

Didn't figure out what the first is, but it isn't just YE#1s. Because Federer has 5 of those, and Sampras has 6.

Winning YEC AND YE#1 in same year. An incredible and very prestigious achievement.

 

[Mayonnaise]

Winning YEC AND YE#1 in same year. An incredible and very prestigious achievement.

Okay, makes sense.

 

[spirit95]

Didn't figure out what the first is, but it isn't just YE#1s. Because Federer has 5 of those, and Sampras has 6.

The two lists are the exact same.

 

[Mayonnaise]

The two lists are the exact same.

No, they're not. Nadal doesn't feature in the first, but he features thrice in the second.

 

[spirit95]

Ohh that list I see. I was just looking at the duplicated list.

 

[Mustard]

Wilander, Courier, Roddick and Nadal. Only Roddick didn't reach the YEC final at any stage in his career.

Edberg won the YEC in 1989 and Agassi won the YEC in 1990, so not them.

 

[JRAJ1988]

I guess Nadal may win one in the future.

It's plausible isn't it?

Combined YE #1 AND WTF

11: Federer and Sampras
9: Lendl
7: McEnroe
6: Connors
5: Nastase
4: Hewitt, Borg
3: Djokovic, Becker, Edberg, Nadal

Djokoking has 5 I believe (3WTF+2YE#1)

 

[Noleberic123]

Im not sure i understand the first list?

 

[Mayonnaise]

Im not sure i understand the first list?

I believe it's the number of times players finished YE#1 having won the YEC in the same year.

 

[Noleberic123]

I believe it's the number of times players finished YE#1 having won the YEC in the same year.

ahhh thanks mate :lol:

 

[timnz]

This isn't correct

Since 1973, Nadal joins Wilander, Courier, Edberg, Agassi and Roddick as the only players to never won a YEC while ended the year #1.

The following YE #1 players have added the YEC at least 1 times:
Federer - 3 times
Lendl - 3
Sampras - 3
Borg - 2
McEnroe - 2
Hewitt - 2
Connors - 1
Kuerten - 1
Nole - 1

Your title is incorrect - it is Not a list of WTF winners - it instead is a list of ATP ye#1

My bad, it's the year end #1.

 

[TMF]

Wilander, Courier, Roddick and Nadal. Only Roddick didn't reach the YEC final at any stage in his career.

Edberg won the YEC in 1989 and Agassi won the YEC in 1990, so not them.

They have won the YEC, but never won during the year they ended #1.

I think it's extra special when a player wins the YE #1 award along with YEC(final showdown).
