A thread to identify players who have achieved wins over three of the top 4 or even all four (currently in no particular order). Details of slam victories are in asterisks underneath (used to be in blue but can't figure out colour coding on the new site anymore). Will update when I think of more and with future wins + I may expand to show details of the matches.

Let me know if I miss any :)

Re: Players with victories over 3+ of the top 4 (Djoko, Nadal, Fed, Murray)

Cool statistics. It's funny how Ferrer can beat Nadal on Hard and Murray on clay, and Djokovic on both, but never Fed on anything.

Kolya :worship:

Cool stats, thanks for picking them up. Tsonga's stats are almost more impressive than Davy's though considering he has beaten all of the top 4 in slams. :hatoff:

Tsonga where it matters. At the slams.
Tsonga-nator with the most impressive stat of all! :yeah:

If Delpo can now beat Muzza and Nole in a grand slam, he will join that club! :)

Re: Players with victories over 3+ of the top 4 (Djoko, Nadal, Fed, Murray)

and so what, Nole, Rog and Nadal won last 500 slams, lol
Brilliant, great for them. This is a thread to compile and admire the victories achieved by these players - the focus is on them, not the top 4 and their obviously bigger comparative successes.

Re: Players with victories over 3+ of the top 4 (Djoko, Nadal, Fed, Murray)

Great list. I would put figures over 5 in bold lettering though, and zeros in red, for overall easier reading.
Thanks, and nice idea, will do :yeah:

Volandri has wins over Fed/Novak and Murray but not Nadal
It's amazing how close he is to all 4 - he beat Nadal in a challenger final in '03 :p :yeah:

Re: Players with victories over 3+ of the top 4 (Djoko, Nadal, Fed, Murray)

what is in an interesting statistic about +/- statistics, is that almost no players have a positive Head to Head against Rafael Nadal. that is pretty incredible

Re: Players with victories over 3+ of the top 4 (Djoko, Nadal, Fed, Murray)

Bit interesting that Ancic had victories over all 4. He was a special player being tall but a decent mover and a very lethal serve and net skills. Definitely winning with aggressive tennis.

Soderling shares a lot with him now. Same age, almost same height, big serve, aggressive game even if Sod was more of an baseliner and Ancic more comfortable at net, especially on grass

Question is why both likely went down to mono. Maybe they both pushed themselves too hard. Maybe they both should never have gotten Fidde Rosengren as coach (is he cursed?). Maybe just worst bad luck ever.

I still hope for Soderling to beat the disease but what a shame. Both Ancic and Soderling would have racked up many wins over the top4 in full healthy careers, even in slams
