Djokovic lost matches after winning or losing 1st set seem wrong

Open mcekovic opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

How is it possible that Djokovic has better win percentage than Nadal both after winning or losing the first set but he has worst overall win percentage? That can’t make any sense, he either has to have worse percentage after winning the first set or after losing it, because overall he hasn’t won as many games percentages as Nadal.
