Winning
Percentage
Speaking of Roger Federer, he finished with the best winning
percentage of the year. He had a better record than anyone playing
at any level, including those playing futures and satellite qualifying!
He ends 2006 with a 92-5 record, winning 3 of the 4 grand slams, reaching
the finals in the other, and 12 titles overall. It doesn't get much
better than that. Thomas Schiessling played in only 14 matches, but
won 13 of them. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga had a good year, finishing at
40-5 and Guillermo Canas came back strong from a suspension, starting in
September and ending with a 30-4 record.
