Re: Re: The Great Big Super-Duper Title Resource Thread
*updated to include a double success for the Dominator and Hewitt's 20th career title, tying him with fellow baseline grinder Brad Gilbert - is it too early to say that he is easily the most successful of the New Balls?*

ROGER FEDERER: Yeah, I remember this one time when I went on a vacation on the Maldives. That was in the year 2001, I think. I went to this spa. I went to walk around with my girlfriend. I walk in, and we want to book a spa. This guy goes, "AHH, I remember you. You beat Sampras. I saw you on TV." That was like, really, how can you remember me? This guy has probably never been off his island and still knows me. I was a little bit shocked. Then I went to play tennis with him because he was actually the tennis teacher. It was nice.
Q. Were you naked at the time in the spa?
ROGER FEDERER: No. It was at the front desk. I didn't walk in naked.

Re: Re: Re: Re: The Great Big Super-Duper Title Resource Thread
Yes, but in terms of career achievements he is easily the most successful - success does not equal present quality. Let's wait until one of the three players out of the four you mentioned wins this AO, then they'll be close - in fact, only Ferrero might actually surpass Hewitt in overall career achievement if he takes the title, given that he has been to no. 1 before and has more TMS titles.

I wouldn't think so. Hewitt still has won two TMC's (bigger than TMS) and ended two years at #1. That plus his higher titles count still would give him a significant lead over Ferrero.

Yes he definitely can. An extra exceptional year, or two good years should do it.

Thank you for the list and the updates--very convenient to have the information easily available. 
A small correction: Wayne Ferreira has 15 titles. You are missing L.A. 2003. |

Other way round, I think you'll find.  Anyway, it's been changed. Anyone got any more, huh?

Re: Re: Re: The Great Big Super-Duper Title Resource Thread
Actually, I just realised that your way of putting it amounts to the same thing - basically, I'm quibbling over semantics. However you say it, I had Kuerten with 18 titles and then listed 19 afterwards, so it's been fixed. Phew!

*updated to include a second home title for Kuerten that takes him to the big 20, and a third win of the year for Hrbaty - in the space of two months, he's doubled his career titles*
