Re: The best winning percentage in a season
 

Lendl and Federer have had the most impressive seasons.

With McEnroe's 1984 being worth a mention. I think this stat is very telling of how dominant some players were in their era and if things were tight at the top. (which was the case in the 90's).

Re: The best winning percentage in a season
 

Three seasons back to back to back with a 90+% win percentage? Your faves could never.

Connors, Borg and Lendl could.
