From 2011-20, Novak Djokovic had a higher winning percentage than any player - including Nadal & Federer
Tennis expert Enrico Maria Riva recently compiled a list of statistics during the 2011-2020 decade. And World No. 1 Novak Djokovic comes out on top over rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer when it comes to match-winning percentage on the ATP Tour in that period.
The Greatest of All Time debate in men's tennis has been a topic of interest for fans in recent times. And with the 2020 season bringing an end to another decade (depending on whom you ask), we have a fresh set of numbers to throw into the conversation.
Novak Djokovic has won an astounding 87.64% of his matches during the 10-year period, while Nadal comes in second at 83.86%. Federer comes in just behind the Spaniard at 83.56%.
Not surprisingly, the top 10 is dominated by the most notable names of the decade, with Andy Murray and Juan Martin del Potro rounding off the top 5.
When it comes to matches solely at Grand Slams, Novak Djokovic comes out on top once again, with a 90.56% winning percentage. Rafael Nadal stands at No. 2 with 88.04%, and Federer at No. 3 with 84.15%.
Three-time Major winners Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka are also in the top 5 when it comes to this stat.
Novak Djokovic has the best winning percentage at the Masters in the 2011-2020 period, while Federer tops the ATP 500 list
Novak Djokovic has won more Masters Series events than any other player in history, with 36 titles, followed closely by Rafael Nadal at 35. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that Djokovic leads the pack during the 2011-2020 period at the ATP Masters 1000 level, with a winning percentage of 86.67%.
23-year-old Alexander Zverev is one of the surprising names from the younger generation of players on this list. The player is at the No. 6 position, ahead of more experienced players such as Milos Raonic, Tomas Berdych, Kei Nishikori and even his own coach David Ferrer.
At the ATP 500 level, it is Roger Federer who comes out on top, with an incredible 91.82% success rate.
The younger generation does make its presence felt in the lower rungs of the top 10 at this level. Aussie Nick Kyrgios comes in at No. 8 with a 71.11 % record. Andrey Rublev, who went on a tear at the ATP 500 level in 2020, is at the No. 9 spot, and Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas comes in at No. 10.
