| 2011 Wimbledon Preview: Roger Federer vs. Mikhail Youzhny |
These two players have fought each other a total of 10 times. Everytime, Federer has won. The last time Youzhny managed to take at least one set from Federer was way back in 2003. All the six subsequent defeats at the hands of Federer were in straight sets. Ranking and Seeding Roger Federer is the current World Number Three while Mikhail Youzhny is ranked 17. Their seedings in the current Wimbledon are 3 and 18 respectively. Both the rankings and seedings weigh heavily in favour of Roger Federer. If both the players do justice to their respective rankings or seedings, Federer will be the winner. Losses in the current year Let us now consider the losses of Roger Federer. He lost to the following players during the current year:
He has not lost to a player ranked lower than 16. Youzhny is ranked 17, below 16. As such, a loss to Youzhny seems unlikely. Let us consider the losses of Youzhny. He has lost to the following players:
The above-given list shows that Youzhny has lost to players who are ranked much lower than Federer. The lowest ranked player to whom Youzhny has lost in the current year is Yuri Schukin, ranked 140. This lack of consistency makes a loss to Federer, ranked 3rd, quite possible. Wins in the current year Let us consider Federer’s wins: Federer has defeated 34 players. Of them, only those ranking higher than Mikhail Youzhny, are listed above. Since he has defeated six players ranked higher than Youzhny, a win over Youzhny seems quite possible. Federer’s victory over Novak Djokovic, the World Number Two, in the just concluded French Open, deserves mention here. Youzhny has not beaten any player ranked higher than 18. The highest ranked player whom he has beaten is Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, ranked 19. Since he hasn’t beaten any player ranked higher than himself, a win against Roger Federer, ranked 3, seems unlikely. Serves Let us now consider the performance in the current tournament. Both have played three matches. The 1st serve percentage of both the players are the same: 68. However, Federer’s winning percentage on 1st serve is higher at 84, against Youzhny’s 78. The gap between the winning percentage on 2nd serve is wider: Federer has won 69% against Youzhny’s 54%. Federer has served an average of 12 aces against Youzhny’s 8. Equally important is Federer’s higher average 1st serve speed (116 MPH) compared to Youzhny’s (111 MPH). In the current year so far Federer has served 265 aces while Youzhny has 85. These figures clearly favour Federer. Return of serve Serving aces is not sufficient for a player to secure a top-ten rank. Milos Raonic, who has served the highest number of aces (479) so far in the current year, is languishing at the rank 25. The next highest number of aces (402) were served by Kevin Anderson, who is ranked further down, at 36. On the contrary, Rafael Nadal, the World Number One, has served 147 aces only, while Novak Djokovic, the World Number Two, has served 178. Yet these two gentlemen are the World Number One and Two. The reason: they have the 3rd and 4th highest number of points won returning 1st serve. On this count, Federer is ranked 8th, while Youzhny is 35th. A player who has scored more points returning 1st serve, has a clear edge over one with a lower score. In the current Wimbledon, Federer has won 42% of the receiving points, while Youzhny has only 38%. This is a very important difference, which, too, favours Federer. The end result will be another outstanding win for Federer as he advances to the next round at Wimbledon.
