  • Top 20 Greatest Players of All Time (Yet Another Take)

    Top 20 Greatest Players of All Time (Yet Another Take)

    Roger Federer

    Here’s another take on the Top 20 of all time – they’re always fun to talk about and never fail to get someone’s panties in a wad. The caveat is just that: it is a take and is not meant to be taken as fact or even how I see things. I was just looking at pre-ATP rankings for players and was surprised to see that players like Jack Kramer had finished (alone or tied) No. 1 six times. I decided to create a quick ranking system based upon two things and two things only, to determine true greatness:

    * Year-end No. 1 rankings: three points for solo; two points for shared
    * Majors won: two points for pre-Open Era Grand or Pro Slams; three points for Open Era Slams

    Now obviously, and again, this is a huge over-simplification. It doesn’t take into account a whole host of important data: Non-win results, other titles, non-No. 1 rankings, etc, not to mention it doesn’t differentiate Slams enough (e.g. the Australian Open in the 1970s was less competitive than other Slams). But it is a quick and dirty system and, I think, worked out pretty well.

    So here we go, the Top 20 players of all time according to one system. I’ve also included the points so you can see how close or far players were from each other.

    1. Roger Federer 66
    2. Rod Laver 62
    3. Ken Rosewall 61
    4. Pete Sampras 60
    5. Pancho Gonzales 56
    6. Rafael Nadal 51
    7. Bill Tilden 48
    8. Bjorn Borg 42
    9. Jimmy Connors 39
    10. Ivan Lendl 36
    11t. Don Budge 34
    11t. William Renshaw 34
    13. John McEnroe 33
    14. Fred Perry 31
    15t. Jack Kramer 30
    15t. Novak Djokovic 30
    17. Andre Agassi 27
    18t. Ellsworth Vines 25
    18t. Henri Cochet 25
    18t. John Newcombe 25

    Some interesting things to note.

    1) Whatever you think of the exact order, I think it has the Top 10 players rightly in the Top 10. Novak has a chance of sneaking in there and edging Lendl out in another year or two, but right now it works.

    2) To be honest, the accuracy of the next ten gets decreasingly reliable as I didn’t research absolutely everyone. But I think the next ten is mainly right, although maybe one or two players weren’t accounted for. It is really hard to research 19th century players. Also right off the edge of the list would be players like Stefan Edberg, Mats Wilander, Bobby Riggs, Roy Emerson, etc.

    3) While many (myself included) think Nadal has surpassed Sampras, this system likes Pete quite a bit more because of those year-end number ones. I think it makes a valid point.

    4) This system rightly honors perhaps the most underrated historical great player, Pancho Gonzales, who is underrated because his peak was in the Pro Slam era and he only won two Grand Slams, while winning 15 Pro Slams. Pancho was the best player of the 50s and finished No. 1 a record eight times.

    5) Yes, Roger Federer is No. 1. Sorry Roger Haters, just about any system is going to place him as the greatest of all time, or at least the greatest of the Open Era. Rafa may pass him, although according to this system Roger would have to remain stagnant (a distinct possibility) and Rafa would have to have five more Slam wins and/or year-end No. 1’s to tie him – a tall order, but possible. But for now I think Roger deserves his place.

  • Slam Results – Consistency and Era

    Slam Results – Consistency and Era

    Roger Federer Pete Sampras Bjorn Borg

    I have often been struck by how amazingly consistent some of the contemporary great players are, and how it seems they are far more consistent in terms of Slam results than in past eras. I wanted to see if my hunch was correct, so I looked at all players who had won 4+ Slams in the Open Era (except for Ken Rosewall), plus Andy Murray added in the mix (as the player currently active with the best chance at 4+ Slams). I came up with a list of 16 players, who I then checked for a few statistics: total Slams, Quarterfinal appearances, % of Slams that were QF or better, Streaks of QF appearances at Slams, and years in which the player was in the QF of all Slams he appeared in (minimum 2 appearances).

    The results were somewhat surprising. First of all, when I compared the Big Four to the previous generation of greats, namely Sampras and Agassi, but also Courier, I found that the Big Four are far more consistent. Here are those players:

    QF% (longest QF streak, years of all QF)
    Murray: 62% (15, 4)
    Djokovic: 75% (22, 5)
    Nadal: 69% (11, 4)
    Federer: 69% (36, 8)
    Sampras: 56% (11, 2)
    Agassi: 59% (6, 5)
    Courier: 36% (5, 0)

    As you can see, the recent greats–in particular Djokovic and Federer–have been more consistent. Rafa’s QF% is the same as Roger’s, but his penchant for occasionally going out earlier has reduced his overall consistency. What really stands out for me in this list are two things:  Novak’s amazing QF%, and Roger’s ridiculous streak of 36 straight Slams, plus his eight years of making at least the QF in all Slams.

    Let’s dial back to another generation plus:
    Becker: 50% (5, 1)
    Edberg: 48% (5, 1)
    Wilander: 45% (7, 2)
    Lendl: 60% (13, 5)
    McEnroe: 58% (10, 4)

    As always, Becker and Edberg are neck-and-neck. Wilander was great in spurts, but bad in other years. Lendl was remarkably consistent in a very competitive era. Overall it seems the numbers are in line with Agassi and Sampras.

    One more jump:
    Borg: 78% (12, 6)
    Vilas: 39% (8, 3)
    Connors: 72% (27, 12)
    Newcombe: 55% (8, 2)

    Clearly Borg’s numbers are skewed by his shortened career. Connors’s numbers are surprisingly good, but we need to remember that in a lot of years he (and Borg) only played two or three Slams, which is easier to make it far in every appearance.

    So while it seems that the current group of greats are historically more consistent than most eras, there’s a range across the decades, so it doesn’t seem clear that the factors of the game today allow for greater consistency (the so-called court homogeneity), or if it simply could be that the current crop is just so damn good. I imagine its a combination of both.

  • Federer Shines in Shanghai

    Federer Shines in Shanghai

    Roger Federer

    Roger Federer beat Gilles Simon on Sunday to win the Shanghai Rolex Masters 1000. Final score: 7-6(6), 7-6(2), in just under two hours.

    Federer’s serve was broken in the first game, and despite serving in the 30% range, Simon managed to hold to get to 5-3. Serving for the set, the Frenchman went down 15-40. On the second break point, Federer was finally able to get back on serve, and leveled the match at 5-5.

    Serving at 5-6, Simon quickly found himself down 15-40, but the Swiss was unable to capitalize on either set point, sending the match to a tiebreak. After an exchange of mini-breaks, Simon had a set point, but couldn’t convert. On his third set point, Federer hit a backhand passing shot, taking the tiebreak 8-6.

    Simon saved three breakpoints in the third game of the second set, but the rest of the set was rather routine. Serving at 5-6, Federer saved two set points before finally holding, taking the match to another tiebreak. He quickly got up 6-2, and closed it out on his first championship point.

    The win gives Federer his 81st title, and 23rd Masters 1000.

    Switzerland and France to Meet In Davis Cup Final

    Roger Federer and the Swiss team will be trying for their first ever Davis Cup trophy when they meet the talented and entertaining French team in December. Switzerland has the benefit of two major title holders, including Stan Wawrinka, but the French have depth on the bench. Their semifinals team featured Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Richard Gasquet, Gael Monfils, and the veteran Julian Benneteau. The French will also have home-court advantage, with the surface yet to be announced, and already much-debated in the blogosphere. Davis Cup finals don’t always feature so much star-power,  and this one should generate more than the usual amount of interest.

    In World Group playoffs, the USA made it through comprehensively over Slovakia, while Spain, which has won four Cups in the last 10 years, was downgraded in a loss to Brazil. Serbia, the winner in 2010, is still fighting to stay alive over India. Canada, Croatia, Belgium, and Australia are also through into the World Group for next year.

    US Open

    Day 5 will feature Women’s third round matches, and the men to finish the second round.  On the women’s side, Venus Williams will play the higher-seeded Sara Errani, but Venus is trending this summer.  Also, Petkovic v. Wozniaki will be one to watch.  And Jelena Jankovic will take on Johanna Larsson, who eliminated Sloane Stephens in the previous round.

    Men’s matches of note:  the volatile but dangerous Jerzy Janowicz with meet Kevin Anderson in a battle of the tall men; young up-and-comer Dominic Thiem will play the sometimes erratic Ernests Gulbis; and Bernard Tomic takes on the very steady #4 seed, David Ferrer.

    Federer, Sharapova, Dimitrov and Halep with all see action.  And the Williams sisters are the last match of the day on Armstrong in the second round of doubles.
