Most tournaments won, Marcelo Rios[edit]

Hello, I think the article is misleading. The player with most titles in 1998 was Marcelo Rios, with 7 (you are discounting Grand Slam Cup I suppose?, which is recognized). And he was the dominant player, with most wins in the year. I don't get why you omit this, and even put a photo of Patrick Rafter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.98.40.195 (talk) 20:44, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are both correct and wrong. Rios did win 7 titles so that needs correcting. But this is a combined singles and doubles titles chart so he's still behind Rafter. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:51, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The section says expressly "Achievements (singles)", so I don't understand what you say. The correct information there is only one, that Rios was the player with most titles in singles. If you want to put a special section with the most winners in doubles too, in a separate row, you are welcome. Or even, if you want, you can put a section with singles and doubles combined, in even another section. But in the singles section, Rios is the most winner of titles. Anyhow, this is the first time I hear someone is measuring both doubles and singles together, in a singles section... And just for 1998... Sound very odd, why don't you try to do the same with the rest of the years? Maybe some doubles players should appear before Sampras/Agassi in some years then, according to your logic. But I don't see anything of this happening. I'm sure everyone would find it strange. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CristianDA (talk • contribs) 20:31, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't say the infobox. I assumed you meant under "titles won by player" section. The infobox has now been corrected too. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:25, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
