In other news.
Rafa has won a tournament every 3.4 appearances.
Ditto Djokovic.
Federer has won a tournament every 4.3 appearances.
The lower the number the better.
When push comes to shove, now that Federer isn't as strong as he used to be (statement of fact vs the rest of the competition using the Kyrgios victory as an example) that number will start to increase given he is less likely to win in every subsequent tournament (unless he wins).
Food for thought, Nadal and Djokovic have had to win their grand slams with Federer in the mix at every single tournament except for the few he missed across the journey. If Federer is the greatest ever, then these two are simply in that conversation because they have had to beat him every step of the way.
