The Big 4 since the start of 2012

[drm025]

Let's talk about some stats since the start of 2012. I feel like a lot of people think about the Big 4 in terms of their history, but not necessarily what's happened recently. I can update the stats as the year goes on. Any other stats people want to see?

Grand Slams
Djokovic: 2 (2 hard)
Nadal:1 (1 red clay)
Federer:1 (1 grass)
Murray:1 (1 hard)

ATP Titles
Nadal: 10 (1 hard, 9 red clay)
Djokovic: 9 (7 hard, 1 red clay, 1 indoor hard)
Federer: 6 (3 hard, 1 blue clay, 1 grass, 1 indoor hard)
Murray: 5 (4 hard, 1 grass)

Head-to-Head

Hard
Nadal: (0-1) vs. Djokovic, (0-0) vs. Murray, (2-1) vs. Federer: (2-2)
Djokovic: (1-0) vs. Nadal, (5-2) vs. Murray, (1-1) vs. Federer: (7-3)
Murray: (0-0) vs. Nadal, (2-5) vs. Djokovic, (2-2) vs. Federer: (4-7)
Federer: (1-2) vs. Nadal, (1-1) vs. Djokovic, (2-2) vs. Murray: (4-5)

Clay
Nadal: (3-1) vs. Djokovic, (0-0) vs. Murray, (1-0) vs. Federer: (4-1)
Djokovic: (1-3) vs. Nadal, (0-0) vs. Murray, (2-0) vs. Federer: (3-3)
Murray: (0-0) vs. Nadal, (0-0) vs. Djokovic, (0-0) vs. Federer: (0-0)
Federer: (0-1) vs. Nadal, (0-2) vs. Djokovic, (0-0) vs. Murray: (0-3)

Grass
Nadal: (0-0) vs. Djokovic, (0-0) vs. Murray, (0-0) vs. Federer: (0-0)
Djokovic: (0-0) vs. Nadal, (0-1) vs. Murray, (0-1) vs. Federer: (0-2)
Murray: (0-0) vs. Nadal, (1-0) vs. Djokovic, (1-1) vs. Federer: (2-1)
Federer: (0-1) vs. Nadal, (1-0) vs. Djokovic, (1-1) vs. Murray: (2-1)

Overall
Nadal: (3-2) vs. Djokovic, (0-0) vs. Murray, (3-1) vs. Federer: (6-3)
Djokovic: (2-3) vs. Nadal, (5-3) vs. Murray, (3-2) vs. Federer: (10-8)
Murray: (0-0) vs. Nadal, (3-5) vs. Djokovic, (3-3) vs. Federer: (6-8)
Federer: (1-3) vs. Nadal, (2-3) vs. Djokovic, (3-3) vs. Murray: (6-9)

The biggest rivalry as expected has been Djokovic vs. Murray with 8 matches. Interestingly, Murray hasn't played Nadal since 2011 (makes sense with Nadal's time away and majority of play on clay). For me, I've always thought Nadal vs. Murray would be an easy Nadal win, but we haven't really seen Nadal against the new and improved Murray with Lendl's coaching influence. Also, Murray hasn't played the other 3 on clay and it's looking like he won't at the French, either. That's 2 years without seeing one of the other 3... It is impressive, though, that Nadal has the most titles given he's been out for 7 months since the start of 2012.

Interesting numbers you posted here, I am a number freak!

Look forward to seeing more numbers from you.
I wonder, how many of those 10 events Nadal won was on clay?

Yes, interesting. Thanks, drm025! Nadal has won 6, and I believe 4 were on clay.

Moxie, you're only counting ATP 1000s and Slams. The OP is including all titles, which break down as follows:

Slams: 1 (1 clay)
ATP 1000: 5 (4 clay)
ATP 500: 3 (3 clay)
ATP 250: 2 (2 clay)

So all but one of the 10 titles, Indian Wells, were on clay.

Yes, well-spotted. I was thinking of the H2H #s v. Big 4. But, in any case, of course they would be nearly all on clay, since Rafa has been absent since 2nd round of Wimbledon in 2012, and came back after the AO, so he's almost only played on clay in the last 17 months.

I will update the stats to include court types. I could for the head to head too if people are interested.
