  • It's Break Time for the Big Three. an Infosys ATP Beyond the Numbers
    It’s break time for The Big Three. An Infosys ATP Beyond The Numbers analysis of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic converting break points against first and second serves when winning and losing matches uncovers some revealing statistics into their stranglehold at the top of the tennis tree. The data set covers five seasons from 2015-2019. Break Points Won vs. 1st Serves The interesting first take here is how close the three players are for all the matches they played. Rafael Nadal slightly edged the other two, winning 38.02% (576/1515) of breakpoints against first serves, with both Djokovic and Federer close behind within one percentage point. Surprisingly, it was Federer who led the trio with the highest percentage of breakpoints won against first serves with all matches that he won, at 39.27% (377/960). The commonly held viewpoint is that both Nadal and Djokovic should eclipse the Swiss in all return categories, but it’s simply not so. Nadal was the best performing player winning break points against first serves in the matches he lost, at 29.44% (53/180). Overall, Nadal also had the least drop off between matches he won and matches he lost, at 9.74 percentage points (39.18% to 29.44%). Break Points Won vs. 1st Serve (bold = leader) Won V Lost Gap All Matches Matches (Percentage Player Matches Won Lost Points) Rafael Nadal 38.02% 39.18% 29.44% 9.74% Novak Djokovic 37.73% 39.11% 25.93% 13.18% Roger Federer 37.08% 39.27% 22.38% 16.89% Break Points Won vs.
