Wacky stats Wednesday

Do you know what happens when I have an hour left at work and no small projects to fill in the time? (I needed to start tackling one item, but it was at least a 4 hour task that would be difficult to stop in the middle.) Well, for some reason, I compiled the stats. Nope. I have no idea why… I think I got started by following a link on a tweet and it just escalated from there.

The stats are for over the course of their careers – from the year they turned pro. The titles and money per

WTF? Done & dusted

Rafa was a dead man walking today in London – he had no chance of making the WTF semis. The match wasn’t totally without consequences, though: Djokovic needed to win in order to have a chance to make the semis and Rafa needed to protect his #2 ranking. The first set went to a tiebreaker with neither contestant playing that well. Rafa’s back stiffened up in the second set and a massage couldn’t keep him from being broken in the 4th game. It felt rather inevitable after that. Nole wins: 6-7(5), 3-6.

Rhythm overrun

Rafa met world #3 Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals of the Paris Masters. These guys have had some tight matches this year and we were all hoping for another exciting one today. It started out looking like it was going that way, then cyborg Nole showed up and wiped the court with Rafa. It’s not like Rafa was playing bad; Nole was on fire. He was seeing the ball well and anticipating all Rafa’s shots. Rafa’s Paris tournament is over as he loses: 2-6, 3-6. Onward to London.
