Rafa's "meaningless H2H" record against the top 10 players
By ATP Staff - (Source: ATP News - August 20, 2013) http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Ten...ng-Record.aspx
"If the measure of a champion is the ability to defeat the best in the game, Rafael Nadal would come out on top on the ATP World Tour. The Spaniard, who captured his ninth title of the season on Sunday at the Western & Southern Open, has a winning record against all of the players currently in the Top 30 of the Emirates ATP Rankings. "Nadal has a winning percentage of over .650 against each of them, with the exception of World No. 1 Novak Djokovic - the competitor he has faced the highest number of times. Nadal leads their FedEx ATP Head2Head 21-15, for a .583 winning percentage. "Against Roger Federer, whom he defeated in three sets in the Cincinnati quarter-finals, Nadal has a 21-10 mark and a .677 winning percentage. Djokovic and Federer are the only players to have beaten the Spaniard more than five times."
Nadal vs. Top 10 (as of 19 August 2013):
1. Novak Djokovic: 21-15
3. Andy Murray: 13-5
4. David Ferrer: 20-4
5. Tomas Berdych: 15-3
6. Juan Martin del Potro: 8-3
7. Roger Federer: 21-10
8. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga: 8-3
9. Richard Gasquet: 10-1
10. Stanislas Wawrinka: 10-0
true that the bull hasn't been in the USO finals between 2005 to 2009 until 2010 but couldn't meet during that time too. though I would tip the bull in the QF match-up if they meet up but I would rate this QF match-up 50-50 but with a slight edge to Feddy over the bull coz he has vast experience than the bull on this court. It would be entertaining and I wouldn't say Feddy the weakest taking only age into consideration. Feddy can bounce back to form. It all happens in his mentality to get over Nadal from his mind.Quote:

Guess it will be played in the morning session after the Kvitova match. Good that they are planning on getting a retractable roof to the Arthur Ashe stadium. A good number of games have been affected by the rain in recent years.
செப்டம்பர் மாதம் - நியூயார்க் பகுதிக்கு மழைப் பருவம். தெரிந்தே இதையெல்லாம் எப்படி ஏற்பாடு செய்கிறார்கள் எனத் தெரியவில்லை. ரசிகர்களுக்கு இழைக்கும் பெரிய அநீதி. அரையிறுதி / இறுதிப் போட்டிகளுக்கு டிக்கட் எடுத்தவன் எல்லாம் வயித்துல நெருப்பைத் தான் கட்டிக்கிட்டு இருக்கணும். எந்த நேரத்திலும் ஒத்திப் போடப் படலாம் போட்டிகள். வார இறுதியில் நடக்கும் போட்டிகள் திங்கள், செவ்வாய் போன்ற நாட்களுக்கு சென்றால் அவ்வளவுதான். ஆட்டம் ஆரம்பிக்கும் நேரம் கூட மாறுபடும். ஒரே கூத்துதான். கூரை போடுவதற்கு நல்லாத் தான் யோசிக்கிறாங்க்ய!Quote:

raagavendran and omega sir, I am very poor in statistics. though I can see the statistical figures, I really can't deduce anything out of it. can you please explain the H2H statistical record of Federer vs Nadal and why it is meaningless?
