Roger Federer will go down as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. He won an incredible 85% of his matches which seemingly made him an all time dominant champion..
BUT facts are he only won 55% of his points overall. This would suggest most of his games could have gone either way.
This would also suggest that at crucial times in games, when the game/match points needed decisive moments, he would usually come out on top despite seemingly being out for the count at times.
