This might be useless to some people, but I have decided to post some of the best current 5 set records.

The criteria that I have used is that they have played a minimum of 10 5 setters and they have a 60 per cent or better winning percentage.


Code:
[B]Rank:		Win	Loss	Percentage[/B]

Robredo     	13	4	76.47
Nadal		16	5	76.19
Muller		9	3	75.00
Djokovic	18	7	72.00
Kohlschreiber 	14	6	70.00
Murray		14	6	70.00
Dolgopolov	7	3	70.00
Cilic 		16	7	69.57
Tipsarevic	18	8	69.23
F.Lopez		17	8	68.00
Ferrer		18	9	66.67
Berdych		16	8	66.67
Baghdatis	12	6	66.67
Istomin		8	4	66.67
Nieminen	17	9	65.38
Monfils		11	6	64.71
Tsonga		9	5	64.29
Simon		12	7	63.16
Hewitt		31	19	62.00
Tursunov	11	7	61.11
Youzhny		18	12	60.00
Stakhovsky	6	4	60.00


If there are any other current players that I have missed out, post away but they must have played at least 10 5 setters and have 60 % or better winning ratio.

Baghdatis' perfect 5 set record comes to an end today
Didn't expect him to lose it, when it went the distance.

Hewitt and Hrbaty now and I don't think this one will go 5 sets either.

Tursunov loses his 1st 5 setter after leading 2 sets to love.

Re: Best 5 Set Records Active Players Only

Thanks to LaLo losing against Ljubo he fails to take top spot and that is a good thing.
He is now 7-3 in his 5 setters and he has lost 2 big ones to PimPim at the AO and to Ljubo.

Another 5 set win for Baghdatis... But why he isnt on that list? Didnt read the 11 pages so dont know how it goes...
Read the 1st page all the criteria is there in the initial post.

Basically 10 matches need to be played.

Berdych has played just 4 tiebreaks in those seven 5-set matches! That's very surprising to me. Those first two scorelines are funny, so many lopsided sets and up-and-down play. Youzhny at least got revenge on him last summer in Cincy.

Berdych moves to 8-0 in 5 setters.

why would it be better?

Don't you enjoy the tension of a 5-setter?
Well unless you're Tennis Fool who thinks Slams should be best of 3 sets.

Re: Best 5 Set Records Active Players Only

Jonas the warrior keeps going and is 26-12

Nieminen with this win over Tursunov is 9-4

Both Ancic and Tursunov with their next 5 set match will enter the list as they are both 6-3 at the moment.
