Here's a chart. It started out as an attempt to quantify just how good Rafa's been on clay relative to other clay players, but then became something larger. Basically, I started with my PEP (Premier Event Points) formula and divided it by "Potential PEP" (PPEP) - meaning, how much PEP a player could have earned.
