This has to be by far the most astonishing statistic I've ever heard on any UA-cam video. That's only a small smidge over half, and these guys are legends!
It's a case of the law of large numbers: small margins in the point count create larger margins in the game count, still larger ones in the set count, yet larger ones in the match count and even larger ones in the tournament count. Add to this that the stat includes their bad years and it's even closer.
Another similar interesting statistic is that in the head-to-head between Federer and Djokovic, Roger won more points, more games and more sets. But Djokovic won more matches. So you could say that Federer was a slightly better "player" but Djokovic was a slightly better "champion", which in the end is what counts.
@molybdaenmornell123hopp5 reminiscent of early-day transocean sailors. One degree difference in direction can yield thousands of kilometers of difference between the intended destination VS the arrived destination.
@@christiannovak-zemplinski9749 I see your point. But, no you can't say that. Not at all. Djokovic is a better player because he won more matches. For example, if I can beat you 0-6, 7-6, 7-6 all the time, does that mean you are a better player than me because you won more points? Or because you had more love games? Tennis is a marathon match and you choose to push more in some points. It's part of the game to be able to win the crucial, under pressure and clutch points. So that makes you a better player too. That's what makes it a really really difficult sport, and I know cause I've been playing it since I was born.
Novak is quite possibly the best at winning the crucial points. He's won so many matches even while playing worse than the opponent. His Wimbledon wins in 2018 and 19 against Rafa and Roger are the perfect examples
This perception is flawed though. Tennis is about being consistent on all the points. Because you only need to win a few more than the opponent it may look like it's about peaking at the right moment but it's really not. All those other points get you to have the crucial b points in the first place. Consistency and 'percentage tennis' are the key. There is hardly such a thing as being a clutch player, you have some that choke at big points and just some that can stay really consistent throughout.

Just doing your best to stay close keep it tight and make it count when it matters the most.

@@Turbulencemodehe didn't collapsed completely if he got another 5 match point and converted the last one. it's always "possible" to come back in tennis even after match points, you can increase you level, opponent can start making mistakes , can find tactical solution against opponent game or win thanks to better stamina, or making opponent run more. it just takes 2 or 3 points in a row to win a decisive and disputed game, then sometimes make a second or even third break in a row. once you win the set, you have your chances
@patrickmouratoglou_official by preserving their energies and concentration for these moments? while trying to waste the other's in not important points
I feel that it's the same in badminton too. A 21-15 win is considered pretty comfortable, but that's only 58% of the points that you actually won. These sports are won and lost on tiny margins and only the best of the best can do it time and time again.
This statistic would only be relevant if points started off neutral, but they don't; players serve. So when every average player wins 50% of his points, then 54% is actually an extraordinary achievement. It's 99th percentile stuff
First off, the actual cited numbers for three are all over 54% (54.1, 54.5 & 54.5) so it makes zero sense to say "between 52 and 54%". Second, tennis is a zero-sum game. Any point you don't win, is won by your opponent. These 3 guys all won ~9% more points than their opponents for their careers, which is a massive difference in the long run, ESPECIALLY in the context of a match being decided on just a few points, as the guy describes.
imagine you are in confort with your own serve ( 40/15 every time on a set) you reach the early break ... you focus on your own serve ... the opponent can win further serves (40/0, game) who care ?? he will even reach 52% of the points ... you won the set in full confort :o)
Biggest problem with tennis is the ridiculous second serve. Tennis would be alot less boring with only 1 serve. Why do professional tennis players get a second serve? Even table tennis doesn't have a second serve.
One of the cooler tennis aspects. Some pts are worth significantly more: game pt., break pt., Set pt., Match pt. All those pts you won in that 7 deuce game were meaningless bc you lost all the break pts. Same for games & sets if you didn't win the set or the match.
When young there’s another factor. Players can win from technical better ones by just being fast and only “put” their racket against the ball. Playing defensive by hitting moonballs and let the attacking player make mistakes. Fortunately this advantage goes away when they get bigger, stronger and learn the skills to overcome such way of playing.
54% is still way above 50 and that's a career percentage which means they had matches with much less than 50%. You can win a set while winning less points than your opponent. If your opponent wins his serve games every time after 40-0 and you are fighting every service game, but also win every single one, getting one break will be enough to win the set even though your opponent won way more points than you.
yes they had matches much less than 50% usually when they would lose. But if you consider their win percentage is like 80%+ with 1000+ matches won the point stands
@@superiorkaos You missed the "point". The point is you don't need to win 50% of the points in a match in order to win the match. In fact, you could only win 40% of all points and still win the match.

He's spot on. Murray is a perfect example. Technically, he's on par with the other three.

Wow!! Such a beautiful insight.. he understands tennis much more deeper than most.. I am shocked with the fact that big 3 won just 50-55% of points yet dominated
and also that's why a small injury or handicap for a player could be a death sentence, since the other player will exploit your weakness as much as possible and you'll for sure lose.
The stat is true bro. I have seen some drtailed analysis of Federer's 2007 or 2006 season on a TV show when he literally won almost everything, but percentage wise he won only 55-56% of overall points.
Well... actually Patrick, since you just break your opponent 2 to 4 times in an entire match (more or less) and even sometimes losing match, it's just a normal stat for any player...
they give up some point' like opponent lob or dropshot point' so they can save more energy at some deciding point' like break point' or set point' . there is no need to push yourself so hard just to achieve a love game 😂
Dont think this is true. When you win 6:26:0 first round they defently win more than 52% of the Points. So there must be losses where this is equal so the Overall is 52%. In Close Matches He is right, a few points decieds who is winning
Completely disagree the statistics are misinterpreted here. Winning 50-54 percent of points in a career is like playing every set to 4-4 getting a break and winning 6-4 every set you play or 7-5 for example. Winning every set averagely 6-4 or 7-5 is a major skill difference especially against top 100 players. If you are skilled you can be an amazing player without mental strength or competitiveness examples include tomic and kygrios. Skill is the number one asset in tennis, these are my thoughts after playing for 10 years and also playing division 1 tennis for two years. Lmk if you agree or disagree…
That's impossible. Murray's match win % has barely dropped because he had such a dominant career, so it would be no different with Rafa's point percentage. He has played well over 1000 matches, and he is old and wouldn't play 15 tournaments in a year anyways, so his statistic will barely change regardless.
@@tomr6955 My guy do you know how many thousands upon thousands of points Rafa has played in his career? He would have to lose points at a drastic rate to even lose 0.1% of his total percentage. Even if he is only winning 50% of his points from here on it would take forever for his percentage to even budge.
its not football or Basketball. On every point played one player will win a point. if you have a strong service game you usually only require one break of serve. so quite naturally both players will usually win more points on their serve. so unless you completely blow your opponent off the court this percentage is kind of expected i guess. they are still incredible competitors of course. probably all top players will be in the 54%-50.5% range is my guess. btw. in 2019 wimbledon final Federer won more points (218 to 204) and still lost the match
Just today Jannik Sinner won more total points than Carlos Alcaraz in the Roland Garros 1/2 Final, but Alcaraz won the match. Just another example, like this video, of how small the margins are in elite tennis and that you can win matches by only winning the % of points played mentioned above - and those are for the all-time greats!! Or like Alcaraz today, you can win fewer than 50% of points played and win. I’m sure it’s happened many, MANY times. I wonder what is the lowest % of points won in a match victory (a- in a grand slam and b- not limited to a grand slam and c- for both men and women.) They must track that, right?
It is absolutely fascinating. The number of lessons from this example. Life. Life can be like this. Fighting can be like this. Shows how hard we can be on ourselves for not being perfect. Yet, it's not perfection. It's the fight, the struggle, the perseverance, the studying, and execution. This takes faith and courage. It takes training.
@@marykistnen6837 Not that rare to Federer - It's happened quite a bit to him. The technical term is SImpson's paradox. For me I believe it's because Fed tries for every point, and not just the important points.
wrong. its 55%. For the three of them. Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. Serena also. It is a number which these greats share. Mouratoglou should really know this. Bit poor from him.
At about 5 mins the video starts to make sense. Peterson teaches clinical psychology and he's instructing a class of students who are learning the same. His videos when shared like this seem like some sort of motivational hyperbole, and that gathers a fair amount of attention of the internet. What this point as indicated in the video showcases is a teacher giving instructions for future psychotherapists to deal with a patient who is agreeable vs disagreeable. Which is based on behavioral science and his personal experience working with clients over decades. Its absolutely incorrect to treat these videos as some direct messages to individuals wanting to be alpha or sigma or some bull shit like that. It has taken me so many videos to realise this. A student in clinical psychology is not expecting political correctness or any such thing from their professor. They are building a tool kit to deal with diverse individuals.
I've been lucky enough to sit court side to watch Borg, McEnroe, Conners, Agassi, Lendl, Sampras, Etc in big matches. As great as they all were, the jump in excellence when Federer, Nadal and Djokovic came on the scene. For me, all 3 have reached levels of greatness that are near impossible to imagine. Normally, it would take 5-7 years for another crop of greats to come up. With these guys, it took 20 years for an Alcaraz to emerge. They have been that great. I'm already mourning their retirements. It's only been a few years and people are starting to forget how unstoppable Fed was.
Evert won more of her matches 90 percent of all matches played over 19 years .mincredible. She did so believing she would. That at any given time she figure out how to handle a point. She believed in herself. That takes courage. Whenever she stepped on the court she acted as though she had already won the match.
52/54% then it shows all are above, such dumb statement, the difference between having 52% to 54% is huge. The fact the % dont look that impressive is just because they are still playing againt top players most of the times not agains beginners. having 54%+ is insane. Only fools will be shocked by this statistic.
Like I’ve been saying for decades, tennis is in a category by itself. You don’t need athletic ability or natural ability to win in tennis. You need craftiness, strategy, thinking. Tennis is won by those who can out think. It’s why it’s less of a sport. It’s more a strategic game. And add the artificial equipment to the mix and this is where tennis is.
No it’s not. It’s just statistics. If you flip a coin 500 times but he has a 55% chance to land on heads, then you’re very likely to flip more heads overall.
I dont disagree with the general claim that a lot tennis matches are decided by a small number of important points.. but I also wonder how the statistic of ~54% varies from the first round game to the finals?

@@markmauk8231 It would be more like 6:4 on average. Each regular game is 4 points. That is 10 points on 2.5 games. If you win 54%, that is roughly winning third game, right?
Craig O’shaunessy mentioned similar stats. Each of the big 3’s most dominant season had them winning 55% of points. Amazing stat.
11:52 11:53 11:58 i love ❤️ the way you knew the truth you know tennis a lot you are a true tennis fan 12:04
Wow!! Such a beautiful insight.. he understands tennis much more deeper than most.. I am shocked with the fact that big 3 won just 50-55% of points yet dominated
and also that's why a small injury or handicap for a player could be a death sentence, since the other player will exploit your weakness as much as possible and you'll for sure lose.
Can I get the full link?
A Link to the full talk ? Thank you!
I don't believe this. After turning pro, it must be at least 57% of career points. Does he really have enough stats to know exactly?
The stat is true bro. I have seen some drtailed analysis of Federer's 2007 or 2006 season on a TV show when he literally won almost everything, but percentage wise he won only 55-56% of overall points.
54% is actually huge. You can look these stats up on ATP
I wish I knew these stats when I was younger. I was always a so hard on myself when I made errors.
I would like to think their percentages are low because of each other. 😂
Wrong. 54% is actually very high. Most others players top out at 51%.
@@tomr6955They are "low" in a sense that we all thought they were so dominant at their peaks that they would have at least 60-70%.
55 % for Nadal, 54 % for Fed and Nole
if you just look at break points and set points, their %s go up massively. Clutch.
This is shocking to me. I thought it would have been much higher.
Does this mean it's about luck or that it's about crucial moments?
It is not how many points you've won, it is how many last points you've won! It's all that matters - who wins the last point of the match!
Well... actually Patrick, since you just break your opponent 2 to 4 times in an entire match (more or less) and even sometimes losing match, it's just a normal stat for any player...
And then you managed to destroy Simona's career.
54% and some of them wins it against each other. What a stats
This is perfect exsample of the individual who does not understand statistics. As matter of fact I'm not sure if he even knows basic calculus?
That’s an incredible stat. Wow.
Super video! wow!
they give up some point' like opponent lob or dropshot point' so they can save more energy at some deciding point' like break point' or set point' . there is no need to push yourself so hard just to achieve a love game 😂
Dont think this is true. When you win 6:2 6:0 first round they defently win more than 52% of the Points. So there must be losses where this is equal so the Overall is 52%. In Close Matches He is right, a few points decieds who is winning
he sad the whole career
warm water is warm... great discovery
Mind blowing stat!
Muy entretenido pero no he oído una definición de felicidad...lo cual ensombrece todo en ligar de arrojar liz sobre el tema
Completely disagree the statistics are misinterpreted here. Winning 50-54 percent of points in a career is like playing every set to 4-4 getting a break and winning 6-4 every set you play or 7-5 for example. Winning every set averagely 6-4 or 7-5 is a major skill difference especially against top 100 players. If you are skilled you can be an amazing player without mental strength or competitiveness examples include tomic and kygrios. Skill is the number one asset in tennis, these are my thoughts after playing for 10 years and also playing division 1 tennis for two years. Lmk if you agree or disagree…
I agree completely. 54% is huge and it's being taken out of context.
Missing the point entirely.
If Nadal plays one more year year his percentage might drop below 54%
That's impossible. Murray's match win % has barely dropped because he had such a dominant career, so it would be no different with Rafa's point percentage. He has played well over 1000 matches, and he is old and wouldn't play 15 tournaments in a year anyways, so his statistic will barely change regardless.
@@IzakD8 still might drop below 54% it's a correct statement
@@tomr6955 My guy do you know how many thousands upon thousands of points Rafa has played in his career? He would have to lose points at a drastic rate to even lose 0.1% of his total percentage. Even if he is only winning 50% of his points from here on it would take forever for his percentage to even budge.
It's impossible to go bellow 54 for a few matches@@tomr6955
its not football or Basketball. On every point played one player will win a point. if you have a strong service game you usually only require one break of serve. so quite naturally both players will usually win more points on their serve. so unless you completely blow your opponent off the court this percentage is kind of expected i guess. they are still incredible competitors of course. probably all top players will be in the 54%-50.5% range is my guess.
btw. in 2019 wimbledon final Federer won more points (218 to 204) and still lost the match
Just today Jannik Sinner won more total points than Carlos Alcaraz in the Roland Garros 1/2 Final, but Alcaraz won the match.
Just another example, like this video, of how small the margins are in elite tennis and that you can win matches by only winning the % of points played mentioned above - and those are for the all-time greats!!
Or like Alcaraz today, you can win fewer than 50% of points played and win. I’m sure it’s happened many, MANY times.
I wonder what is the lowest % of points won in a match victory (a- in a grand slam and b- not limited to a grand slam and c- for both men and women.)
They must track that, right?
Why do I feel he is talking to a mirror... and not an interviewer
😂😂
I've always thought that was Djokovic's best talent
I don't have in mind an other sport in which you can win by scoring less points than your opponant.
Why will i argue basketball michael jordan of course 🤔
It is absolutely fascinating. The number of lessons from this example. Life. Life can be like this. Fighting can be like this. Shows how hard we can be on ourselves for not being perfect. Yet, it's not perfection. It's the fight, the struggle, the perseverance, the studying, and execution. This takes faith and courage. It takes training.
same with djokovic federer wimb 2019 final, nole won less points than roger but still took the win
The points won by each player in that match was widely spoken about, because it was very rare.
@@marykistnen6837 Not that rare to Federer - It's happened quite a bit to him. The technical term is SImpson's paradox.
For me I believe it's because Fed tries for every point, and not just the important points.
wrong. its 55%. For the three of them. Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. Serena also. It is a number which these greats share. Mouratoglou should really know this. Bit poor from him.
Yeah but you have to look at how many serve points are played also. Im sure the big 3 are serving less than the people they are playing??
At about 5 mins the video starts to make sense. Peterson teaches clinical psychology and he's instructing a class of students who are learning the same. His videos when shared like this seem like some sort of motivational hyperbole, and that gathers a fair amount of attention of the internet.
What this point as indicated in the video showcases is a teacher giving instructions for future psychotherapists to deal with a patient who is agreeable vs disagreeable. Which is based on behavioral science and his personal experience working with clients over decades.
Its absolutely incorrect to treat these videos as some direct messages to individuals wanting to be alpha or sigma or some bull shit like that.
It has taken me so many videos to realise this. A student in clinical psychology is not expecting political correctness or any such thing from their professor. They are building a tool kit to deal with diverse individuals.
And swiatek on clay ?
I love listening to whatever he says about tennis!
Really? Obviously Rune who is coached by him is stupid enough not to learn from him...
Simpson's Paradox.
I've been lucky enough to sit court side to watch Borg, McEnroe, Conners, Agassi, Lendl, Sampras, Etc in big matches. As great as they all were, the jump in excellence when Federer, Nadal and Djokovic came on the scene. For me, all 3 have reached levels of greatness that are near impossible to imagine. Normally, it would take 5-7 years for another crop of greats to come up. With these guys, it took 20 years for an Alcaraz to emerge. They have been that great. I'm already mourning their retirements. It's only been a few years and people are starting to forget how unstoppable Fed was.
Evert won more of her matches 90 percent of all matches played over 19 years .mincredible. She did so believing she would. That at any given time she figure out how to handle a point. She believed in herself. That takes courage. Whenever she stepped on the court she acted as though she had already won the match.
52/54% then it shows all are above, such dumb statement, the difference between having 52% to 54% is huge. The fact the % dont look that impressive is just because they are still playing againt top players most of the times not agains beginners. having 54%+ is insane. Only fools will be shocked by this statistic.
54 vs 52 is a huge difference. That’s why they win so much.
Crazy stat !
He’s an overrated coach.
Like I’ve been saying for decades, tennis is in a category by itself. You don’t need athletic ability or natural ability to win in tennis. You need craftiness, strategy, thinking. Tennis is won by those who can out think. It’s why it’s less of a sport. It’s more a strategic game. And add the artificial equipment to the mix and this is where tennis is.
But i prefer lebron james but jordan basketball goat
Keine uberzetzung😮👎varum??
Je n'y crois pas
I don't understand the statistic, someone could explain it to me?
Wow
It’s all about how you handle the big moments
No it’s not. It’s just statistics. If you flip a coin 500 times but he has a 55% chance to land on heads, then you’re very likely to flip more heads overall.
Bla bla bla bla
This is very misleading. I want to see the percentage in matches they've won.
That's why Djokovic dominated Federer he knows how to win the big points.
this guy. Zzzz
Patrick, that bracelet is for ladies, please remove it or give it back to your daughter. Thanks
I dont disagree with the general claim that a lot tennis matches are decided by a small number of important points.. but I also wonder how the statistic of ~54% varies from the first round game to the finals?
Who are you?
Apen
Yes, as Big Servers know, you can hold at Love over and over but, still lose the match.🤔
When Novak can't win the crucial points, he just retires the match or takes a medical timeout
Bullshit lol
Mouratoglou is a scam
Is it true you gave steroids to Serena her entire career?
