Talk:Tennis players with most titles since 1968/Tennis players with most singles titles

Inadequate titles
I just would say something about the following articles "Tennis players with most singles titles", "Tennis players with most titles" and "Tennis statistics" : they mainly (if not absolutely for the first two) concentrate on open era tennis and not on the whole story of tennis so their titles are inadequate.

I am writing an article called "Tennis, male players statistics" (that I've written in the French version of Wikipedia and that I will tranlate in English) that takes into account statistics available since July 9, 1877 when the first tournament match has begun. Unhappily just few statistics are available because many have been lost or never registered nevertheless this is absolutely unfair to restrict tennis statistics only to ATP statistics that are even uncomplete in the beginning of the open era : you will see in my list that even the modern players as Connors or Lendl or McEnroe or ... have won more titles than the ATP "officially" lists. I guarantee you that for instance the ATP hasn't listed many New South Wales Championships (Sydney) as those of 1973 (Anderson winner) or of 1974 (Tony Roche)...And naturally there isn't anything about the pre-open years : what about Budge or Drobny ? Absolutely nothing.

Lifespan column
The word "lifespan" translates to a more negative term in this article. Besides, is that directly associated with the number of titles won? The number of years as a pro is a better measure, then just use "Activity" or some term similar to label the column. --Joey80 05:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
