Interesting stats regarding Connors and Federer #tennis
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 22nd, 2018 11:29 AM Author: underhanded foreskin range As of today Connors has played 134 more matches than Fed, and has won 107 more.
What's interesting is that Connors has 12 more titles, 17 more finals, but a whopping 45 more semifinals (240 vs 195).
That's an ungodly number of SFs. That's basically the same as the disparity between Fed and Nadal (195 vs 149).
Did Connors just play a lot more tournaments with smaller draws?
-----------------------------------------------
Also interesting, Nadal has the best winning pct of the big 3. I'm actually surprised Fed is last.
Nadal (82.73) > Djokovic (82.3) > Federer (82.0)
Right now Nadal is #2 all time in win pct to Borg (82.74). Nada will be #1 if he wins RG (82.84) |

Date: May 22nd, 2018 6:35 PM Author: underhanded foreskin range The sheer number of additional semis for connors is pretty shocking, especially given how good Federer has been for so long. It's not like Fed was routinely losing before semis.
Could be that Connors is just massively underrated because he never played the AO and didn't play RG during his best years. |

Date: May 22nd, 2018 6:41 PM Author: Motley skinny woman school cafeteria well his slam sf total isn't even close to dr federer's eta: but he also skipped a ton of opportunities. like lance he will be remembered as the third best of his era |

Date: May 22nd, 2018 8:09 PM Author: Elite bateful karate also: fed has played 338 tourneys, connors 398
i guess connors played in an era where there werent 9 mandatory masters, and guys played more small tourneys.
fed has a worse winning percentage than lance and djoker bc he had so many bad years until the 2017-2018 resurgence. |

Date: May 23rd, 2018 10:28 AM Author: underhanded foreskin range even still, 60 more tourneys but 45 more semifinals
probably was a lot of small tourneys |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2018 10:35 AM Author: Elite bateful karate Wonder how many of those small tourneys were even full 32 draws or he got a bye and only needed 2 matches to get to a semi. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3983669&forum_id=2#36111053) |

Date: May 23rd, 2018 10:38 AM Author: Elite bateful karate Also the tour is much deeper now. Tennis is more international. Those smaller events in the USA were mostly American players. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3983669&forum_id=2#36111066) |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2018 10:40 AM Author: underhanded foreskin range I can't stand Connors, but I've ultimately come to think he's underrated in tennis history.
He pretty much never played the AO, and he skipped a few RG tournaments when he was at his peak (and pre-Borg I believe).
He was probably good for another 2-3+ majors at least. |
