2012 Tie-break Kings
 

Got stats on most of the top 100 at the moment and here are the top 10 for tie-break's this year at ATP tour level:

1. G.Zemlja - Played 9 Won 77.78%
=2. I.Sijsling - Played 8 Won 75.00%
=2. D.Nalbandian- Played 12 Won 75.00%
4. R.Nadal - Played 11 Won 72.73%
5. M.Llodra - Played 14 Won 71.43%
6. N.Davydenko - Played 13 Won 69.23%
7. T.Haas - Played 16 Won 68.75%
8. A.Murray - Played 25 Won 68.00%
9. J.Isner - Played 56 Won 67.86%
=10. F.Fognini - Played 15 Won 66.67%
=10. B.Baker - Played 15 Won 66.67%

Interesting to see quite a few veterans in the top 10 - Nalbandian, Llodra, Davydenko & Haas. Also Isner played 56 tie-breaks this year!!

Wow no Federer? Can't recall seeing him lose a tiebreak like....ever

Re: 2012 Tie-break Kings
 

Federer has played 31 tie breaks this year winning 61.29% of them which puts him 18th on the list. He has dropped a few tie-breaks to people he shouldn't have this year: Ungur, Benneteau, Roddick & Bellucci. He has also dropped a couple to Raonic in there matches

Re: 2012 Tie-break Kings
 

There should be a minimum requirement of TBs played. Part-time players like Nadal should also be excluded from the sample.

Re: 2012 Tie-break Kings
 

11 TB's is more than enough, not his fault he's not an all serve mug like Jizzner and Serverer and finishes the sets off in 6-2 or 6-3

Re: 2012 Tie-break Kings
 

Well, I am not saying he should be excluded for the # of TBs played. He should be excluded because he doesn't play on the ATP tour full-time :shrug:.

Yeah, I wish Federer would sometimes win matches like 6-3 6-1 or something. Well, a boy can dream I guess...

Tipsarevic :rolleyes:

Re: 2012 Tie-break Kings
 

Isner and Murray are the most impressive. No surprise to see the top spots occupied by people who played <15 tiebreaks, winning a high % after playing 20+ is a lot more difficult.

Re: 2012 Tie-break Kings
 

Out of the top 20 Wawrinka has by far the worst stats for tie-breaks.

Played 28 and won just 35.71% of them :sad:

Re: 2012 Tie-break Kings
 

This again shows how clutch Nadal is, having such a huge percentage (in his career it's pretty high as well I believe) without a big serve that can help him out.

Re: 2012 Tie-break Kings
 

Ok if you refine it for the top 10 who have played at least 20 tie breaks we have:

1. A.Murray - Played 25 Won 68.00%
2. J.Isner - Played 56 Won 67.86%
3. J.Melzer - Played 20 Won 65.00%
4. J.Tipsarevic - Played 34 Won 64.71%
5. D.Ferrer - Played 31 Won 64.52%
6. R.Federer - Played 31 Won 61.29%
7. J.Tsonga - Played 36 Won 61.11%
8. S.Querrey - Played 33 Won 60.61%
9. J.Del Potro - Played 43 Won 60.47%
10. R.Stepanek - Played 20 Won 60.00%
