Rafa holds the best record against top ten players during the last 12 months.

Over the past 12 months*, Nadal has compiled a 12-1 record (.923) against his Top 10 rivals (as of 2 May 2013) to lead the FedEx ATP Reliability Index with the best winning percentage.

Novak Djokovic is second overall among current ATP World Tour players with a 24-9 mark (.727) in the past 12 months, which includes a 15-1 record against his fellow Top 10 players since he lost the 2012 US Open final to Andy Murray, who is .632 over the past 12 months.

Roger Federer is No. 4 with a 12-11 (.522) record, followed by Tommy Haas at 5-5 (.500) among currently ATP World Tour stars.
Rafa also holds the best career record against top ten players. :bigclap:

Top 10 Player Wins, Losses, Total (Wins Percentage)
Roger Federer 211 92 303 (.696)
Rafael Nadal 136 52 188 (.723)
Novak Djokovic 111 65 176 (.630)
Andy Murray 77 50 127 (.606)

Nadal is on top sure enough, but those numbers are not correct. He has 104 wins, not 136. Numbers are wrong for the others too. Djokovic has 91 wins, not 111. Murray 64, not 77. Federer 162, not 211. For Federer numbers of losses are also wrong, should be 85 not 92, for the others numbers of losses are right. I know you're just quoting an ATP article so I'm not blaming you for the mistakes. Funny mistakes to make by ATP, they have the correct numbers as well. Here is the correct list in full:

That's odd :confused: :lol:

It looks like the standings remain the same though. Rafa is still tops among current players.

Love that Borg is at the top of the board. That's what quitting in your prime will get you. :)

I expect that Rafa's percentage will go down as his career winds down, but he's doing very well to be second in the all time stats. :worship:

Nice to see you visiting the Nadal forum. :wavey:

Imagine if he was born 6-7 years earlier and played in a much weaker era compared to now.
Instead of facing peak fed, peak nole, peak murray, delpo and co he could've faced Roddicks, Hewitts and co.

Ah well. Not everyone is that lucky.
