H2H Turkeys: When being a pigeon just isn't enough. 10+ differential required
 

Losing 10+ differential in head to head matches, this is something not achieved by everyone, though some don't want it necessarily.

Initially this will be about past match ups, but there are some current ones that need updating.

Donkey punch would be good, but not appropriate. Turkey is a clear and concise for this category when being a pigeon isn't enough.

A classic one below, but Edberg won the ones that counted. He was 3-1 in Slams.

Re: H2H Turkeys: When being a pigeon just isn't enough. 10+ differential required
 

Interesting thread, I certainly didn't expect the Becker-Edberg stats! Federer v Roddick is another that is just going to grow - any chances Roddick had would have been pre-2005 really.

Re: H2H Turkeys: When being a pigeon just isn't enough. 10+ differential required
 

Huh...Edberg even beat Muster on clay...

Re: H2H Turkeys: When being a pigeon just isn't enough. 10+ differential required
 

Yes, it was a horrible match up for Muster cause he didn't like playing serve/volleyers whereas Bruguera loved it.

Re: H2H Turkeys: When being a pigeon just isn't enough. 10+ differential required
 

Your knowledge of tennis history continues to astound. Keep up the good work on the stats.
