Interesting Stats

Seeing the news about Monaco pulling out of Rome, I thought I would look up stats on withdrawals and retirements and found this interesting article.

Granted it might be outdated by a year or 2, but it makes for good reading as does the other stat work.

Thanks, LKv2. Nice article.

Injury rates in general have risen–exactly what we’d expect from a sport that has become increasingly physical.

I though the Tipsarevic stats were interesting. He is going for some record it has to be said!

Interesting read LK. 2 Serbians in the top 10, is it part of their culture to stop before a match end if defeat is coming to somehow preserve dignity or cynically take away the gloss for an opponent they don't like? Surely not...maybe they've just had more injury than most?

Wonderful thing ..irony

Well we know one Serbian went from serial withdrawer to Trojan!
