To avoid confusion and double counting, these charts are updated at the conclusion of a tournament or when the player's participation has ended.
a 2012 Australian Open counts as 1 win, 0 loss. (Round 2 Roger Federer walkover after Beck withdrew because of lower back injury[ 3] does not count as a Beck loss, nor a Federer win.)
