Daily Data Viz: ATP's Big Four into the fourth round of the French Open

A look at the stats of the ATP's Big Four—Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal—into the fourth round at the French Open. 

Whether it's powerful serves, second serves, serve returns or winners, the ATP's Big Four has proved dominant over the rest of the men's field at the French Open. World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has dominated second serves and has won 63% of his own second serve points and 58% of his opponents’ second serve points. Through three rounds, Roger Federer has hit 67% of his first serves in play (4% above his tour average) and he's held 39 of his 42 service games (93%). Andy Murray has won 42% of his first serve returns (8% above his ATP Tour average), 59% of his second serve returns (5% above his average) and 45% of his return games (11% above his average). Rafael Nadal's serving stats lead the tournament (49% return games won) and he’s held serve 35 of 39 times and has lost a total of 24 games in 9 sets. Will the dominance continue through to the quarterfinals?
