Best win percentages against top-10 opponents : Björn Borg - 71.1% Novak Djokovic - 69.2% Boris Becker - 65.1% Roger Federer - 64.6% Ivan Lendl - 64.3% Rafael Nadal - 63.9% Pete Sampras - 63.6%

[@Thunderoo]

It's important to note that Borg retiring at age 26 inflates his stats. Normally a great player loses the most at the very beginning and very end of their careers, but Borg skipped the losses at the end of his career since he retired in his prime. Becker's numbers show he was truly a big match player.

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

@@Phi1.618 Djokovic was the leader there up until 2023, it took a weak year at 37 for him to barely drop to second place, and he has barely lost to Top 10s: 2 official losses against Sinner, 1 against Ruud and 1 against Alcaraz; and that's it.

[@インコ-l8e]

It is very difficult to create an indicator that is completely free of bias. If a player loses repeatedly to top 50 players in the early rounds, this will not affect this indicator. Conversely, if a player loses repeatedly to a top-10 player in the higher rounds, his winning percentage will worsen. The latter should be the better player, but the exact opposite would happen in terms of percentages.

Something to note with Rod Laver is that he already turned 30 the year Open Era started in 1968. He was a dominant player throughout the 60s beating all the other pros more often than not, but this is of course not reflected in Open Era statistics.

True. He has more wins v the big three than anyone else... By an absolute mile. Constantly in the last 4 in grand slams and has a healthy winning record against all of the other pretenders (Ferrer, Wawrinka, Del Potro, Cilic, Tsonga, Berdych etc)

[@neophytosdm]

@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 I find that a bit hard to believe - at least to the degree that Novak's most online fans believe it - because 1. Roger wiped the floor with most of the next generation players from 2017 until the early 2018, while being well over 30 2. He had match points against Thiem on clay in 2019 - who beaten Djokovic in Roland Garros a couple of weeks later - he lost to Nadal at the semis of Roland Garros and had match points against Novak at Wimbledon. So, he only lost to the two best active clay court players that year and almost won against Novak (one of the goats), all while being a few months older than the current age of Novak and clearly way out of his athletic prime. 3. In 2015 which in terms of quantity is the best year for Novak (some say it's his best year in terms of level too - although I tend to disagree), his biggest rival amongst the so called "stronger" era, was still Roger who was 33-34 years old at the time and still he was the only player that won against him multiple times and faced him in some of the biggest finals of the year.

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

@@neophytosdm I never said Roger wasn't good. Him being SO good, only makes sense he would still be a great player in the 2010s. What I'm saying about "Roger's era" is comparing the rest of the field on that near-decade: sans Nadal, the other guys were less competitive than the guys from Djokovic's dominant era (the 2010s). Roger still had some years where he was clearly above that bunch, but I never questiones his quality, just the quality of his opponents during the 2000s.

[@neophytosdm]

@@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 I get that, I just don't believe that the quality of his opponents were inferior, at least to such an important degree. Maybe the competition got higher in the sense that a bar has been set and as time gone by, more players can play at certain level above that bar, because of the evolved training methods, recovery methods, knowledge sources etc. But I for one, believe that is very difficult or impossible to make an objective and fair comparison, because we are talking about 2 different eras. If you switch players between those 2 eras - for example take Alcaraz in the 2000s and bring Safin in 2010s, we don't know how they would have ended up under those different circumstances, we can only assume. Only thing I can say, based purely on just watching matches and not on facts, is that with the exception of Sinner and Alcaraz, there is a big chance that I would probably be more afraid of playing against a prime Safin, Roddick, Davydenko, Nalbandian, Gonzalez, Hewitt etc instead of Medvedev, Fritz, Rune, Zverev and Tsitsipas.

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

@@neophytosdm I digress on prime Meddy being less threatening than those guys, but remember: "Djokovic's era" encompasses much more than the NextGen+ players, it also encompasses PRIME MURRAY, prime Wawrinka, prime Tsonga, prime Ferrer, prime Nishikori, prime Cilic, prime Berdych, and also an always threatening Delpo. Now you also factor in the Big 3, vs only Fedal in 00s, and you get that Djokovic's time has been far more competitive, factor in Sinner and Alcaraz and it gets even more competitive. My point is, once Roger hit his peak, nobody truly opposed him (not even Safin or Roddick) and he pretty much swiped the floor with them until Nadal started being a pain in the ass from time to time. From 2011 onwards, the field was still not on the B3's level on a consistent basis, but they were far more threatening: Murray, Alcaraz and Sinner are definitely better than any other player outside Fedal since 2003 (the start of Roger's dominance). Medvedev and Wawrinka are imo BETTER than Safin or Roddick, and guys like Ferrer, Delpo, Tsonga, Berdych or Nishikori are a more threatening bunch than Nalbandian, Davydenko and company.

BTW Jeff Sackmann in 2022 done a Elo rating for past players among both genders in which Steffi Graf & Rod Laver came on top for both female & male respectively.

Most other 4-5 year period in this video, the 3rd place had 40+ top 10 wins. This shows the inconsistency of top players during those years. This isn't to take anything from Fed, he was amazing and dominant, but when I hear "weak-era" arguments about other players' dominance, I always think of this.

Don't confuse grand slam wins and so on with GOAT status. We need to look at greatest in their prime. Greatest in their PRIME goes to none other than Roger Federer. People forget that at one time he was the second greatest clay court player, losing several finals to the greatest clay court player Nadal. Federer would have easily had close to 30 slams if it weren't for Nadal on clay. Give me Federer in his PRIME. It's like MJ in his PRIME.

Goddamn right, Alexander Zverev.

[@lucasnl98]

Well this is clear about who won more matches against top 10 but not about who is the goat or the best tennis player. At the same time being the best tennis player not means the best profesional tennis player. At the same time someone can be an incredible player but injuries are a massive lack on it's overall performance

Nole is the Best!!

[@michaelnurse9089]

Alcaraz has still not passed his coach.

[@WeLoveTennisYoutube]

He is young. Give him some time.

Nole won a huge number of slam against non-top players. How many of those are still competing for slams? Federer is the GOAT.

[@EricRogstad]

The narration at the beginning is annoying and unnecessary. Just show the rankings and play the music!

[@federook78]

And why the goofy corporate music?

[@jm7804]

I love how the commenters act like Nole's record is going to be some carved in stone all-time achievement. It will fall just like all records do. It wasn't that long ago when Pete Sampras' record of 14 majors was considered to be untouchable. Look how that aged. Pete can't even get his name dropped as an honorable mention in the GOAT conversation. Old Nole is going to be invited to present the trophy for the record breaking slam one day just like Bjorn and Pete were. It's the way of things.

Words of a man who hasn't done even a shred of homework regarding the question of what can reasonably be expected of humanity's long-range prospects. Do some homework, my friend, and if you do that in a serious way, you'll realize that Djoko's records won't ever come close to being broken. Humanity doesn't have enough time left to churn out such a champion ever again. Save your blabby "It's the way of things" for other than any sort of serious and reflective discussion.

@@rolandhill8226 Hi Nole! Nice to see you online.

[@badmanskill1112]

It's definitely possible. Records are meant to be broken. But as it stands now, Novak is the GOAT. Maybe Sinner or Alcaraz will get 25 Slams. We'll see over the next 10-15 years.

Novak's numbers have skyrocketed since 2018. Lol He's been getting great results since five of his main rivals were out with injuries. Lol

Probably, arguably, the most telling statistic….. ND won 7 of his slams and Olympics against lesser ranked players…..
