    It's very symmetrical and symbolical.


    72 slam tournaments (6 dozen)
    36 finals (3 dozen)
    24 titles (2 dozen)



    But Federer was impressive as well, I believe when he won his 20th slam, it was 200th slam of open era.

    (2018 AO, yes 50th AO in open era)

    So he alone had 10% of all slams in open era.

    Laver won 5 of the 1st 7 open era slams = 71%. His share of open era slam titles was more than 10% up until the 80's.


    Rosewall had 100% of slams after the first one. ;)




    What's more mind blowing for me is Nadal has won 14 of 92 FO's ever played = 15%

    Yeah, huge.
