So I re-watched the match tonight, and watching Rafa hit 100 gazillion shots into Roger's backhand motivated me to do some useless stats research.

Here is Rafa's record against all 18 of the one-handed backhand players currently in the top 50, along with Gasquet and Blake (cause, hey, shouldn't they be in the top 50)?

It comes out to an impressive 82% win-loss record, but also highlights that Federer still has the best record of any one-handed player against Rafa. It's just not an easy feat.

Federer 14-7
Youzhny 7-4
Gonzalez 7-3
Ljubicic 5-2
Stepanek 4-0
Almagro 6-0
Haas 4-0
Wawrinka 5-0
Robredo 6-0
Lopez 5-1
Montanes 2-0
Kohlschreiber 6-0
Karlovic 3-0
Hanescu 4-0
Garcia Lopez 2-0
Berrer 2-0
Llodra 0-0
Zeballos 0-0
Gasquet 7-0
Blake 4-3
