I'd like to convert Jezza's lists above into % tournaments won ([tournament titles]/[tournaments played]) and % career at #1 ([weeks at #1]/[weeks as professional player]), but I don't see info on career length (yet).
I do see info that top-100 players are, on average, getting older and older. |

% tournaments won
1. Bjorn Borg = 64/192 (33.33%)
2. Novak Djokovic = 78/250 (31.20%)
3. Rafael Nadal = 84/280 (30.00%)
4. Ivan Lendl = 94/321 (29.28%)
5. John McEnroe = 77/263 (29.27%)
6. Roger Federer = 103/362 (28.45%)
7. Jimmy Connors = 109/397 (27.46%)
8. Pete Sampras = 64/265 (24.15%)
9. Guillermo Vilas = 62/340 (18.23%)
The statistics around Rod Laver were difficult to verify because of the overlap of playing before and after the Open Era. One site had him winning 51 out of 168 tournaments played which translates to 30.36%.
% career at #1
1. Pete Sampras = 286/807 (35.44%)
2. Novak Djokovic = 276/863 (31.98%)
3. Ivan Lendl = 270/893 (30.23%)
4. Roger Federer = 310/1167 (26.56%)
5. Rafael Nadal = 209/958 (21.82%)
6. Jimmy Connors = 268/1292 (20.74%)
7. John McEnroe = 170/949 (17.91%)
8. Bjorn Borg = 109/806 (13.52%)
8. Andre Agassi = 101/1153 (8.76%)
9. Lleyton Hewitt = 80/1038 (7.70%)
Note: Sampras' record could be 286/760 (37.63%) as he didn't play in the final 47 weeks of his career despite being listed in the ATP rankings and not being officially retired in that period.
Borg's could also be 109/682 (15.98%) if you don't include his mini comeback in 1991. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 |

Did these four play each other, i.e. were they in the locker-room at the same time? |

You can just about see the viruses circling their faces. I don’t think that one is a keeper for the Djokovic Family Album. |

Goran Ivanisevic (now Djokovic's coach) has also tested positive.
Optimists can hope that this saga might actually help. Many health experts believe people won't take COVID-19 seriously until someone they know becomes ill. Famous young sportsmen might be a reasonable substitute for people you really know. |

^ agree, I think the USA will start to take it more seriously when the NFL season start without fans, or better yet, the NFL season doesn't start. _________________ Fighting against the objectification of woman. |

In the USA, can our world leader Trump overrule the NFL if they decide to postpone the start of the season until fans can attend? _________________ Don't confuse your current path with your final destination.

The Many Sides of Novak Djokovic, Out There for All to See
Djokovic is nothing like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Where they are private and controlled, he is an irreverent, emotional exhibitionist. Just look at the tape.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/08/sports/tennis/the-many-sides-of-novak-djokovic-out-there-for-all-to-see.html
"But forehands and backhands are not what have landed him in the spotlight lately.
The youngest and least predictable of the Big Three of men’s tennis — which includes Nadal and Roger Federer — Djokovic, 33, of Serbia, is an exhibitionist and tennis showman whose risks can turn into spectacles, both good and bad.
...
He did not handle things so well three weeks ago in New York. In the fourth round of the U.S. Open, also facing early frustration against Carreño Busta, Djokovic swatted a ball and accidentally nailed in the throat a line judge who was some 40 feet away. The incident led to his disqualification from the tournament, apologies and promises of both introspection and personal growth.
...
Djokovic, the rare modern athlete who really does allow people to see large parts of his persona, produced a series of meandering New Age conversations with his friend and spiritual guide, Chervin Jafarieh, exploring a wide range of topics, including the importance of intention and a discussion — that landed them both in hot water — about whether spiritual clarity can make contaminated water safe to drink. (It can’t.)
...
That passion can be a double-edged sword. It drove him to organize his ill-fated Adria Tour tennis exhibition in Belgrade in June, even as coronavirus infection rates remained high. Djokovic and his mates packed the stadium, paying little heed to social distancing guidelines.
Within days, Djokovic and three other marquee players tested positive for the virus. Subsequent events were abandoned.
And at the U.S. Open in New York last month, Djokovic became the first No. 1 seed to be defaulted from a Grand Slam tournament in modern professional tennis. Angry at himself for his sloppy play, Djokovic pulled a ball from his pocket and swatted it behind him, not intending to hit the judge.
Horrified and embarrassed by what he had done, Djokovic rushed to her side as she had crumpled to the ground. He pleaded with tournament officials not to disqualify him, though he knew they had little choice." |

Rafael Nadal wins the French Open, defeating Novak Djokovic 6-0 6-2 7-5.
This is his 100th match win and 13th title at Roland Garros.
He is now tied with Roger Federer on 20 Grand Slam titles.
He now has 999 career wins. |
