Federer's Great Tennis Season

So, Roger Federer won another tournament and again everybody is talking about whether or not he is the greatest of all time.

He's had a superb year with a match record of 92-5, which means he won 94.8% of his matches.

As incredible as this year has been for Federer, his season winning percentage is only the fourth best in ATP history!

The best single season winning percentage all time on the ATP tour is 96.5%.

And, guess who holds that record?

None other than John McEnroe who in 1984 went 82-3. Not to mention that Mac lead Ivan Lendl 2 sets to love in the French Open that year before Lendl came back to win the match.

There's no question of Federer's brilliance but there have been periods of brilliance by others as well.
