That's what you get for being "an all-serve player"

Thanks Voo! :hug:

Poor Isner :bigcry:

 

[Henry Chinaski]

nice stat.

how far do your records go back?

 

[Voo de Mar]

With pretty decent database to 1998. There's possibility that some player lost more matches of this kind in the 70's or 80's, in the 90's rather not.

 

[xdrewitdajx]

would be good to know how many were actually on their own serve = P

Ljubicic wasted a double match point on serve against Ferreira, don't know about his other matches in 2002.

Isner wasted only 1 of 13 match points this year on serve, it happened in the match against Fish in the Atlanta final.

 

[SchalkenFan]

Another Isner stat: 7 of his 19 defeats this season were 3rd set TBs(and one was a 7-9 5th loss)...so 8 of his 19 losses were either holding a match point or losing in a FS TB lol

 

[croat123]

it was 6-4 6-4 5*-2 40-15 on serve if i remember correctly
the draw was wide open too...

 

[cobalt60]

Cool stats:yeah:

 

[abraxas21]

federer managed to put some amazing choking efforts in that department last season. where does he rank?

Indian Wells: lost to Baghdatis 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (4) - 3 MP missed.

Miami: lost to Berdych 6-4, 6-7(4), 7-6(6) - 1 MP missed on his own serve.

US Open: lost to Djokovic 5-7 6-1 5-7 6-2 7-5 - 2 MP missed on Djokovic's serve.

Paris: lost to Monfils 6-7, 7-6, 7-6 - 5 MP missed (all on Monfils' second serves).


all in all, 11 lost match points in 4 defeats

 

[jcempire]

[nole_no1]

Unlucky Big John

 

[BodyServe]

real bad luck Isner

come on man, you miss biggest chance

He wasn't going to beat Federer exhausted anyway. Would have lost something like 7-6 6-4 probably.

Amazing stat. In the case of Ljubicic the struggles of 2002 to close out matches was a prelude to the best years of his career where he became an OLY medalist, Davis Cup hero and top 5 player. I wonder if Isner can also achieve similarly in the next 2-3 years. But thanks for posting this very interesting information Voo.

What a player this Berdych. Saving match point on Federer's own serve. Legend! :worship:
