2023 Mosconi Cup Scores and Individual Player Records

[AtLarge]

Here are the final match and game records for the 2023 Mosconi Cup.

Scoring the way it counts, by matches:

Day 1 -- USA 0, Europe 4​

Day 2 -- USA 1, Europe 3​

Day 3 -- USA 1, Europe 2​

Day 4 -- USA 1, Europe 2​

Total -- 3 - 11 (USA winning percentage of 21%)​

Scoring by games rather than matches:

Day 1 -- USA 9, Europe 20​

Day 2 -- USA 11, Europe 19​

Day 3 -- USA 8, Europe 13​

Day 4 -- USA 12, Europe 12​

Total -- 40 - 64 (USA winning percentage of 38%)​

Match Records of Individual Players. For the following records, I counted a full win or loss for each player in each match (i.e., not splitting the point into fifths for the teams match or halves for doubles matches). So these numbers essentially answer the question: "In how many winning and losing matches was each player involved?" [Note: These records show wins and losses, so a record like 1-2 means 1 win and 2 losses, not 1 win out of 2 matches.]

Team USA​

• Shane Van Boening ..... 1-0 singles, 1-1 doubles, 0-1 teams, 2-2 total (winning percentage of 50%)​

• Skyler Woodward ..... 0-2 singles, 1-2 doubles, 0-1 teams, 1-5 total (17%)​

• Tyler Styer ..... 0-1 singles, 0-2 doubles, 0-1 teams, 0-4 total (0%)​

• Fedor Gorst ..... 0-2 singles, 2-1 doubles, 0-1 teams, 2-4 total (33% )​

• Shane Wolford ..... 0-1 singles, 0-2 doubles, 0-1 teams, 0-4 total (0%)​

Team USA Total ..... 1-6 singles, 4-8 doubles, 0-5 teams, 5-19 total (21%)​

​

Team Europe​

• Jayson Shaw ..... 1-0 singles, 2-1 doubles, 1-0 teams, 4-1 total (80%)​

• Albin Ouschan ..... 1-0 singles, 2-0 doubles, 1-0 teams, 4-0 total (100%)​

• Joshua Filler ..... 2-1 singles, 1-1 doubles, 1-0 teams, 4-2 total (67%)​

• David Alcaide ..... 1-0 singles, 2-0 doubles, 1-0 teams, 4-0 total (100%)​

• Francisco Sanchez-Ruiz ..... 1-0 singles, 1-2 doubles, 1-0 teams, 3-2 total (60%)​

Team Europe Total ..... 6-1 singles, 8-4 doubles, 5-0 teams, 19-5 total (79%)​

Another way of looking at the match records is to count a full point for each player in a singles win or loss, half a point for each player in a doubles win or loss, and one-fifth of a point for each player in a team win or loss. So the following numbers essentially answer the question: "What numerical contribution did each player make to the overall Mosconi Cup match scores?"

​

Team USA​

• Van Boening ..... 1.5 - 0.7 (winning percentage of 68%)​

• Woodward ..... 0.5 - 3.2 (14%)​

• Styer ..... 0 - 2.2 (0%)​

• Fedor Gorst ..... 1.0 - 2.7 (27%)​

• Wolford ..... 0 - 2.2 (0%)​

Team USA Total ..... 3 - 11 (21%)​

​

Team Europe​

• Shaw ..... 2.2 - 0.5 (81%)​

• Ouschan ..... 2.2 - 0 (100%)​

• Filler ..... 2.7 - 1.5 (64%)​

• Alcaide ..... 2.2 - 0 (100%)​

• Sanchez-Ruiz ..... 1.7 - 1.0 (63%)​

Team Europe Total ..... 11 - 3 (79%)​

Game Records of Individual Players. Counting half a point for each player in a doubles win or loss (so the totals will add to 104 games), here are the individual records for games won and lost (including the 9 games played in the teams match):

Team USA​

• Van Boening ..... 8.5 - 8.5 (winning percentage of 50%)​

• Woodward ..... 8 - 16.5 (33%)​

• Styer ..... 4.5 - 10 (31%)​

• Gorst ..... 12.5 - 18 (41%)​

• Wolford ..... 6.5 - 11 (37%)​

Team USA Total ..... 40 - 64 (38%)​

​

Team Europe​

• Shaw ..... 13.5 - 5.5 (71%)​

• Ouschan ..... 12 - 2.5 (83%)​

• Filler ..... 16.5 - 13 (56%)​

• Alcaide ..... 11 - 6.5 (63%)​

• Sanchez-Ruiz ..... 11 - 12.5 (47%)​

Team Europe Total ..... 64 - 40 (62%)​
