Rafael Nadal’s feat of winning 1,000 matches in his professional career continues to kick in the tennis world and invites us to reflect on the merit he has achieved in this way, contrasting his numbers with those of other great tennis players. And it is that you do not have to go very far to find cases of renowned players, some legendary and others very great, which is not that they did not win 1,000 games, but that they did not even play them. These are some of the most paradigmatic cases:
- Pete Sampras: 984 (762-222)
- Michael Chang: 974 (662-312
- Boris Becker: 927 (713-214)
- Thomas Muster: 898 (625-273)
- Mats Wilander: 793 (571-222)
- Björn Borg: 794 (654-140)
