Four years ago, I began measuring how many ranking points players have earned in their career at the nine Masters Series 1000 events. I am now reposting it with updated stats to see how players have progressed, since it has been over two years since I updated the original post.
I found the sum total of ranking points earned by all of the top players since 1990 at each of the Masters Series events that they played in. The totals were based on the current ranking system: W-1000, RU-600, SF-360, QF-180, R16-90, R32-45, R64-20, and all first round losses were worth 10 points unless it entrance was based on a wildcard.
Keep in mind that players who started their peak years before 1990 could be drastically underrated in categories that have to do with totals, and could be very overrated in categories that have to do with averages.
Career Masters Ranking Points Earned:
1. Rafael Nadal 54,950
2. Novak Djokovic 52,565
3. Roger Federer 52,485

Nadal has finally surpassed Djokovic in average points, and holds a very slim margin. It's amazing how close these two players are after such long and different careers. Nadal is certainly the best player in Masters Series history as of right now, but that could change even before the end of the 2019 season.
Most Points Earned at One Tournament:
1. Rafael Nadal 12,590 (Monte Carlo)
2. Rafael Nadal 10,750 (Rome)
3. Roger Federer 8780 (Indian Wells)
4. Rafael Nadal 8565 (Monte Carlo)
5. Andre Agassi 8220 (Miami)
6. Roger Federer 8100 (Cincinnati)
7. Novak Djokovic 7900 (Rome)
8. Novak Djokovic 6830 (Miami)
9. Novak Djokovic 6745 (Indian Wells)
10. Roger Federer 6355 (Miami)
There is one more way of looking at the numbers presented in this form. The first two categories dealt with totals and averages. Averages are good for looking at how good a player is in the tournaments that they played. Total is good for looking at the longevity of that success in tournaments.
This final list looks at a combination of the two. It takes the total amount of points won and subtracted from that is the number of Masters Series tournaments played multiplied by 171, which was the average amount of points won per tournament of the players that were researched. That means that an average score on this list would be zero for the 46 players that were researched.
Career Points Earned Adjusted
1. Rafael Nadal 35,114
2. Novak Djokovic 33,584
3. Roger Federer 29,571
4. Andre Agassi 11,842
