I'll go with most wins over #1's.

Remember, you are allowed to search to confirm you guesses. You could quickly look it up - Nadal has the most win over #1, the second is Becker who is not even on the given list.

[mick1303]

Also the ranking itself did not exist through the whole Open Era. My hint #2 says that this stat we are discussing shall be applied to the whole Open Era without asterisks.

number of grand slam semifinals?

number of grand slam semifinals?

Given list does not have Connors, Sampras and Mac, but has Cilic and Ferrer - each with "measly" 6 semis appearances in slams. Come on now...

[ashkor87]

Connors and Mac were before 90

[mick1303]

I said "applicable to the whole Open Era". It basically disqualifies all the stats, related to TMS/AP1000, which started in 1990.

I did not call my question "quirky" for nothing. The answer requires a bit of unconventional thinking. The data is readily available - not hard to find. It just rarely (if ever) was used in a way I'm asking to use it here.

Most break points saved at slams?

[mmmm8]

I was thinking most breakpoints converted (likelier to be tracked) at a slam. Couldn't find data.

I don't believe such stats are available for early Open Era.

[ponchi101]

Most matches won after losing the first set.

[mick1303]

Most matches won after losing the first set.

IMO this is an example of an obscure stat. This is not what I had in mind. Although, come to think of it - could be an interesting list.

[mick1303]

Most matches won after losing the first set.

This is not the answer, but you are starting to think in a right direction. In a broad sense ))

[ponchi101]

Most matches won after the opponent served for the match.
Which I know it is not because I did the search and the data are not readily available.
