Pim Pim Retires

I've got criteria to create statistical threads. In singles a player has to:
- win at least 100 ATP matches
- win at least one ATP tournament
- reach at least 4th round of a Grand Slam event
- reach at least Top 50 in ATP ranking

I've made an exception for Pim-Pim because he's finished career prematurely due to injury. He doesn't measure up above criteria only in one point - hasn't won 100 matches - but with his potential it was a matter of 2 years.

Win/loss
Career Singles (Tour Level Only) 71 - 58 (.553)
Career Doubles (Tour Level Only) 16 - 15 (.516)

Career Singles (Incl. Futures, Challengers and Satellites) 198 - 105 (.653)
Career Doubles (Incl. Futures, Challengers and Satellites) 28 - 31 (.474)

Number of tournaments he has played:
- Main Tour (Grand Slams and ATP Tour): 55
- Challengers: 30
- Satellites: 1
- Futures: 26

CAREER TITLES in singles: (3 ATP, 3 Challengers, 6 Futures):
01 - Australia F1 (Futures)
02 - Poland F3, Austria F4 , Sweden F1
03 - Sweden F1 , Nottingham, Ischgl (Challengers)
04 - Memphis (13), Luxembourg
05 - Adelaide (33), Marseille (36)

Another great tribute Voo de Mar.

Poor Pim Pim, kind of reminds me of Kent Carlsson in a way.

Poor PimPim. He had so much to achieve.

I'll never forget Andre Agassi surviving the barrage of 51 aces (a record) from Johnasson at the 2005 AO, and he still won the match in four sets. :lol:

Pim-Pim served even 53 aces in one day due to rain-delay. He did it in Toronto 2004 against two Frenchmen:
2R Carraz 7-6(4) 6-7(3) 7-6(4) - 30 aces
3R Saulnier 7-6(2) 4-6 7-6(4) - 23 aces

Re: The statistical tribute to Joachim Johansson (1998-2007)

losing to Labadze on clay

:lol: His clay-court record is 2-11 (main level). But he won Futures on clay in Szczecin (Poland) 2002 :dance:

Re: The statistical tribute to Joachim Johansson (1998-2007)

Another great thread by Voo .
Didn't Pim Pim also unleash 45 winners to go with his 51 aces in that Agassi match at the Aussie Open. It was funny that Agassi didn't hit a single unforced error in the 1st set, but still ended up losing it :lol:. He did very well indeed to win that match.

Voo

great work, thanks for this.

Re: The statistical tribute to Joachim Johansson (1998-2007)

* Pim-Pim is one of the youngest players who played in qualifcation to an ATP tournament. He was just 15 years-old when he lost 4-6 6-7 to David Wheaton in Stockholm 1997. It was his first match against pro-player, quite good scoreline.

Re: The statistical tribute to Joachim Johansson (1998-2007)

The longest winning tie-break: J.Salzenstein 7-6(11) 6-4

^ It's his longest official tie-break...
Pim-Pim beat Nalbandian 6-3 4-6 7-6(14) on grass in an exhibition tournament at Buckinghamshire 2005

Thank you for the thread, as always, Voo.

Re: The statistical tribute to Joachim Johansson (1998-2007)

Actually he played few tournaments in since the end of 2005!
In the last 2 years he played so small number of matches, I am not sure that we could consider he actually played.

But this is sad, sad story.

He got so much potential.

Actually since July 2005... He didn't play to the end of the year.
2006: 3 ATP, 2 Challengers, 2 Futures
2007: 3 ATP, singles rubber in DC

Yeah, actually his career is finished since July 2005 when he was 23

losing to Labadze on clay

Do you know Labadze reached SF at IW this year on basically dead court?
Moreover considering the scoreline and the fact that J.Johansson's worst surface is clay,this result isn't embarrassing.

Re: The statistical tribute to Joachim Johansson (1998-2007)

Shame he has retired. Could have always been contender for International titles and could have gone deep at the slams.
