The tournament formula:
–
# always 128-draw except years 1968 & 1972 when 5 rounds were played with a bit complicated system
# years 1973-75 – first two rounds “the best of three”
# Tie-breaks since 1973
# 32 seeded players since 2002
# Deciding 3rd set tie-breaks in doubles since 2007

Only on question, Why Guillermo Vilas have 58 victories?, I count 56 in ATP
And something more you have 6 sets! in the stat of the longest match, it was long but not “so” long xD
Because ATP doesn’t include his first two wins in 1972 and other sources repeat the mistake delivering ’56′. It was a specific and chaotic tournament with 5 rounds. Here is his activity in that RG:
1 Faulk 7-5 6-3 6-4
2 Warwick 6-3 6-0 6-0
3 Hewitt 0-6 8-6 8-6 2-6 6-2
4 Baranyi 3-6 6-2 5-7 8-6 6-3
5 Solomon 6-3 10-8 2-6 4-6 4-6
Matches against Faulk and Warwick aren’t from qualifying rounds. Faulk was a qualifier and had won 3 matches before entered the main draw.
