1,068: Ivan Lendl (1,068-242)
1,050: Rafael Nadal (1,050-210)
995: Novak Djokovic (995-202)

Secondly, Nadal is now through to the 99th Masters 1000 quarterfinal of his career. He already holds the record for that stat.

MOST CAREER MASTERS 1000 QUARTERFINALS (since 1990)
99: Rafael Nadal
88: Novak Djokovic
87: Roger Federer
51: Andy Murray
45: Pete Sampras, David Ferrer, Tomas Berdych

Nadal has now reached the quarterfinals or better at 99 of the 125 Masters 1000 events he’s ever played (79.2%).
