Nadal is 2nd and Djokovic is 7th. Clearly, Nadal and Djokovic are far better players mentally.

On return of serve, you are by definition on the back foot trying to get into a neutral rally. Djokovic and Nadal are superior defenders than Roger, and hence better at working themselves into a position to win the point against the server

Rafa - 44.96%
Novak - 44.39%
Roger - 41.20%

I'd have thought Federer would be even worse than that tbh.

A 3% difference in converting BP's when compared to arguably the two best returners the game has seen isn't too bad. I guess his lack of BP conversion has been happening in high profile matches which makes it look like he's having trouble with BP's when in truth it's not too bad.

[Lukasgigler]

He was last place at this tournament with 26%. 26% despite the 75% against djokovic. That tells you how bad his conversions rate really was...

 

[KingOfClay]

Facts don't care about your opinion

 

[Martin12]

We all know that Nadal and Djokovic are better returners than Federer, and that Federer is not particularly good at converting break points, so this is not surprising.
Break points saved:
7) Roger Federer 67.29%
10) Rafael Nadal 66.66%
20) Novak Djokovic 65.44%

Obviously Guillermo Coria is the GOAT. Thanks OP.

 

[Fargif]

This make Rafa even better.
We can all agree that Federer , then Nole are much better servers then Rafa. They get alot more easy points.
So the gap should be much closer. And it isnt.

Behind all time legends like Filippo Volandri and Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo.

Filter by surface and see that Nadal's return stats are heavily weighted for clay where we all know he plays his best tennis. He is 46th on hard courts.

All of the top break point converters are obviously going to be clay courters because their game is based around winning the majority of their points in rallies rather than relying on their serves.

Federer still awful though. Sampras is even lower. Their games are more serve based.

Great first post,new user.

 

[Roxitova]

That was really on display today.

Fed is all about his own serve, I have been saying that for a decade now, the Fed cult does not like to admit this.

 

[sheep85]

we all knew he's just a glorified servebot tho, so this isn't exactly brandnew information.

 

[artilerist13]

I don't know about Fed but seeing who is last make me laught. Thiem one of the best clay courters today and recently hardcourter last in break point conversion is hilarious.

Yeah, he was easily the worst player in taking bp, but he improved this year. He actually is 10/15 in ATP Finals this year.

Nasals return stats are due to him being superior once the rally gets underway but his actual return isn’t anything special, he generally just tried to put it back in play in a decent enough position to start a neutral rally.

 

[slamjunky]

So out of 100 BP opportunities Rafa and Nole would convert 3 more times, not that big of a difference considering the stats include the last few years where Federer has been struggling.

 

[monfed]

What was his BP conversion rate from YEC 2003 to AO 2010, more specifically YEC 2003 to YEC 2007?

 

[SetPointDown]

What was his BP conversion rate from YEC 2003 to AO 2010, more specifically YEC 2003 to YEC 2007?

YEC 2003 to YEC 2007 42.50 which puts him on 43rd in the above list
YEC 2003 to AO 2010 42.16 which puts him on 55th on the list.
