List_of_tennis_rivalries
In tennis history there have been a number of notable rivalries. This list reflects some of the great rivalries.[1][2][3][4]
For the pre-1991 eras, complete statistics on all matches is difficult to obtain in definitive form. In many years there were significant numbers of minor events and exhibition matches outside the designated tours, some of which were not reported in newspapers or recorded by the respective amateur or professional tour management. The approximate nature of these results should be understood and kept in mind while reading this data.
For the purpose of this article only, the criteria for inclusion are (all must be met):
- Both players must have a career high ranking of world No. 3 or better, and at least one of them must have reached No. 1.
- Both must have met multiple times in semifinal or final stages of Grand Slam events (or Pro Slam and also WCCC and WHCC count).
- At least 12 of the career match-ups between them must be in main (regular) tour or circuit series of tournaments.
