Consecutive Grand Slam Tournaments Played (as of 2011 Wimbledon)

In 2004, Wayne Ferreira established an all-time men's record with 56 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments played.

Here are players who have not missed a Grand Slam tournament in the past 20 Slams (or better):

Player--Number--Streak Started
Roger Federer--48---2000 Australian Open
Feliciano Lopez--39--2002 Roland Garros
David Ferrer--37--2003 Australian Open
Fernando Verdasco--34--2003 Wimbledon
Tomas Berdych--33--2003 U.S. Open
Albert Montanes--30--2004 Wimbledon
Philipp Kohlschreiber--29--2004 U.S. Open
Nicolas Almagro--28--2005 Australian Open
Novak Djokovic--28--2005 Australian Open
Guillermo Garcia-Lopez--28--2005 Australian Open
Stanislas Wawrinka--27--2005 Roland Garros

Federer will need to play through the 2014 Australian Open to better Ferreira's record.

In 2008, Ai Sugiyama established an all-time record (among men & women) with 62 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments played.

In 2008, Fabrice Santoro established an all-time men's record for total Grand Slam tournaments played (70 as of Australian Open 2010).

Here are the (male) players with the most Grand Slam tournaments played in the Open Era:

Fabrice Santoro 70
Andre Agassi 61
Jonas Bjorkman 58
Michael Chang 57
Jimmy Connors 57
Wayne Ferreira 57
Ivan Lendl 57
Mark Woodforde 55
Stefan Edberg 54
John Alexander 53

In 2006, Amy Frazier established an all-time record (among men & women) with 71 total Grand Slam tournaments played.

With Fab unlikely to still be playing after the end of the year it looks like just Ljubicic and Federer with the chance to play in every GS of this decade. Obviously they have had very different results.

Getting on the list & staying on it takes a combination of good health, keeping your ranking in the top 100, and some good luck. Ferreira surpassed Edberg to set the record & they obviously had much different results in majors. Hrbaty was the best chance among active players to pass Ferreira, but one injury did him in. Of the top five players on the "most consecutive weeks in the top 100" only one (Santoro) is on this list. The others (Moya, Grosjean, Hewitt, Ferrero) had injuries along the way that resulted in some absences.

if Roger wants to break Ferreira's record, how long does he have to keep playing?

To equal Ferreira at 56, he'll have to play all 4 grand slams until and including 2013.
He'll be 32 then - his statements have suggested he's up to playing to this age. The body has to follow of course.
(I'm trying not to think of his possible GS win number now, as I let this sink in)

so if Roger plays Wimbledon/USO 10 and AO/RG 11 he'll tie Santoro being much younger :eek:

Of note is that the oldest player on the list is Montanes, and the only player who is older than Federer.

Players who are currently active and still playing at a high enough level to qualify, who were there in AO 2000:

Ivan Ljubicic [30]
Michael Llodra [41]
Juan Carlos Ferrero [42]
Rainer Schuettler [131]
Arnaud Clement [157]
Lleyton Hewitt [181]
Tommy Haas [190]

There are 7 remaining. Who would have thought that it would be Ivan ranked number 2?

Crazy Ivan is now the only seed.
