Roger Federer




There are a couple of tennis players out there, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal come to mind, who I've sort of overlooked because pictures of thier brieflines were so ubiquitous.

But then, I had a thought.

I have made it my mission to chronicle brieflines through the google group, this blog, and the brieflines site. It is unfair if I overlook these players just because. So I've started to go through the major picture hosting sites to recover any missing pictures of Federer (starting with him first) and of course, have gobs of pics to share.

So, today's update is the first "gob", with thirty pics added to his page. Enjoy!

You Might Be on the Brieflines Site If...

...you're a Frenchman.

So,  I did some statistical analysis on the brieflines site, somewhat out of curiosity and somewhat out of boredom. And one of the things I discovered is that there are more Frenchmen on this site then from any other country.

The data are from my excel tracking sheets. I wanted to know which countries (top 10) had the most players on the brieflines site and which countries had the most pictures per player.


Here's what I discovered:




1. The country with the most players on the site is France with 28 players. They're followed by a tie between Argentina and Spain, then Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, Australia, the United States, the Russian Federation and the UK.


   
2. As a percentage, the Top 10 countries listed above are responsible for a whopping 71% of the players on the site.













3. The country with the most amount of photos* attributed to players from within its borders is Spain with 1,770. Its followed by France, Serbia, the Russian Federation, Switzerland, Croatia, Germany, the United States, the Czech Republic, and Argentina.

*To make this list, a country had to have at least five players on the website.

















4. Together, the ten countries with the players who have the most photos comprise 79% of all the photos on the website.












5. Spain has the most photos per player, with 77 photos per. Serbia is second with 51 and Switzerland is third with slightly less than Serbia.
