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.

It will be updated at the end of the tournament.
When was the last time you updated this, George? I ask this because I've noticed that Baghdatis is not on the list and he has a fantastic 5 set record.

Have to play 10 matches over 5 sets and he hasn't done that yet.

Re: Best 5 Set Records Active Players Only

Hewitt is moving closer to the top spot. The best thing is the last 5 set match he lost was when he was up 2 sets to love.

George, was that against Robredo at RG? I remember that match since it was a rare case of cheering for Lleyton.

Yes, that was against Boredo at RG and it wasn't a bad match either, that was in the year of Costa the warrior with his outstanding defence of his title in 2003, when he played crap but managed to win all those matches before Ferrero took him out.

Re: Best 5 Set Records Active Players Only

Funny that a guy who is meant to be a mental midget like Berdych is 8-0 in 5 setters, then again Safin has a great record in them as well. It seems like it gives them more time for them to have their bad moments.

The one common theme among all of the ones on the list is that they have for the vast majority of time blown a 2 sets to love lead.

I saw Mantilla do it at the AO against Grosjean, the body gave out and Seb played well.

Hrbaty did this year against the PMK at the AO and Safin did at Wimbledon and Nieminen blew one against Henman at Wimbledon as well.

Re: Best 5 Set Records Active Players Only

Federer would be quite happy with a 5 set record like the Poo, however he has won 8 Slams without having to win too many 5 setters and that should say something about him.

Re: Best 5 Set Records Active Players Only

Nadal is 6-2.

If that's the last five-setter Hewitt lost, do you by any chance know about how many he's played (and won) since then? It's pretty amazing that he's been so strong in five-setters since then, especially since Tommy's win over him was right towards the end of his reign as world #1.
He has won 7 in a row since then.

Re: Best 5 Set Records Active Players Only

Johansson is now 15-10

With Nalbandian winning today he moves to 12-7.

Re: Best 5 Set Records Active Players Only

Lalo now moves to 7-4.

Re: Best 5 Set Records Active Players Only

No surprise that the Safin v Nalbandian and the Berdych and Tursunov matches went the distance and as it stands now.

Safin is 24-10

Nalbandian 12-8

Tursunov is 6-4

Berdych is now 9-0 and one more and he is in the list.

Yeah not a bad record from my man Rocky Llegs...8-in-a-row :worship: ,& actually he`s only lost one 5-setter in the last 5-years :worship: ..>>That was to Robredo at the 03 FO :sad: .So Hewitt has won 14\15 5-setters since the beginning of 2002 ;) .

Re: Best 5 Set Records Active Players Only

Funny that Hewitt lost his last 5 setter when he was leading 2 sets to love.

Re: Best 5 Set Records Active Players Only

It's happened to nearly every top player, yes Safin did it this year. I mean then there is Krickstein who came back from 2 sets down 10 times and won the match.

While we`re on the irony thing..>> wasn`t Krickstein the guy who lost to Connors in the 1991 USO 4th Rd/QF? match after leading 2-sets-to-love :p :wavey:
