When Djokovic will take No.1 back, if it's after Basel, this statistic will become:

1. Roger Federer: 302/3 = 100.66
2. Rafael Nadal: 102/2 = 51
3. Lleyton Hewitt: 80/2 = 40
4. Ilie Nastase: 40/1 = 40
5. Ivan Lendl: 270/8 = 33.75
6. Jimmy Connors: 268/9 = 29.77
7. Novak Djokovic: 54/2 = 27
8. Pete Sampras: 286/11 = 26
9. Mats Wilander: 20/1 = 20
10. Bjorn Borg: 109/6 = 18.16
11. Andre Agassi: 101/6 = 16.83
12. Jim Courier: 58/4 = 14.5
13. Stefan Edberg: 72/5 = 14.4
14. Gustavo Kuerten: 43/3 = 14.33
15. Andy Roddick: 13/1 = 13
16. John McEnroe: 170/14 = 12.14
17. John Newcombe: 8/1 = 8
17. Juan Carlos Ferrero: 8/1 = 8
19. Boris Becker: 12/2 = 6
20. Yevgeny Kafelnikov: 6/1 = 6
21. Marat Safin: 9/3 = 3
22. Thomas Muster: 6/2 = 3
22. Marcelo Rios: 6/2 = 3
24. Carlos Moya: 2/1 = 2
25. Patrick Rafter: 1/1 = 1

Nole is forced to hold No. 1 for 53 weeks to regain his previous efficiency.:)

Hewitt at No. 3. Respect !!!:worship:

It's a little funny to see that at the moment every active player is ahead of every retired player (if we consider Ferrero retired).

Djokovic' comeback will one again vault Nastase into first among those with one stretch only. He's lost that distinction many times but always regained it.

TBH, Nastase was helped a lot in having a longer stretch by the fact that ATP was releasing a new Rankings much rarer than today. Although, he could have had only 8 weeks like Newcombe, so it's still a bit of an achievement.

Here is a different version in which only the computer releases are counted.

Efficiency of number 1 ranked players by release list count:

1. Roger Federer: 301/3 = 101.33
2. Rafael Nadal: 100/2 = 50
3. Lleyton Hewitt: 80/2 = 40
4. Ivan Lendl: 218/8 = 27.25
5. Pete Sampras: 286/11 = 26
6. Novak Djokovic: 47/2 = 23.5
7. Andre Agassi: 101/6 = 16.83
8. Mats Wilander: 16/1 = 16
9. Jim Courier: 58/4 = 14.5
10. Stefan Edberg: 72/5 = 14.4
11. Gustavo Kuerten: 43/3 = 14.33
12. Andy Roddick: 13/1 = 13
13. Ilie Nastase: 10/1 = 10
14. Juan Carlos Ferrero: 8/1 = 8
15. John McEnroe: 92/14 = 6.57
16. Boris Becker: 12/2 = 6
17. Yevgeny Kafelnikov: 6/1 = 6
18. Jimmy Connors: 46/9 = 5.11
19. Bjorn Borg: 29/6 = 4.83
20. Marat Safin: 9/3 = 3
21. Thomas Muster: 6/2 = 3
22. Marcelo Rios: 6/2 = 3
23. Carlos Moya: 2/1 = 2
24. John Newcombe: 1/1 = 1
25. Patrick Rafter: 1/1 = 1

Observe how it was all weekly between 1985 and 2010 and that leads to an identical part to the one before, and the difference in the display of players ranked #1 between 1973 and 1985 and starting with 2011.

(for the year 2000 it's maybe not fully representative, esp. in the beginning of the year, because it was the first year with a new ranking system, there are always transition concerns in such cases and Agassi looks a little bit low to me)

old Roger that.

.
 
#383 ·
another God stat of the day

he has won Wimbledon as seed #1, 2, 3 and 4

NoleDal are begging on the street just to hope they could win the worlds greatest tournament 4 times
 
#409 · (Edited)
Still begging? :LOL:
You should continue after next Monday, since Federer's record will be past forever.

So Sampras' records lasted a decade. Federer's did too...
Not even a full decade, only 8 years and 8 months.
Will someone born in the 2000's cause this thread to be bumped in 2032?
Impossible, the younger bums are nowhere near as consistent as Federer and Djokovic or good on all surfaces to have a chance.
Though there could be someone who is yet to break out, so you'd never know at this time.
 
#386 ·
The fanatics have to hold up a phoney regal air. They have to hang onto Frauderer, who cried like a stinky crack addicted bum on the street just because he lost a tennis match after having a piss easy draw.
 
#402 ·
We'll come back to this thread in five years again:grin2:
 
#404 ·
That tripped me out pretty hard. I didn’t realize how old this thread was at first. I was like he just broke it now? Who had it before? Then I looked at the date oh. Lol

Federer has all the good records unlike that crappy head 2 head against 1 player those idiots like to champion. I was like how could he not have this important record until now. Lol
 
#413 · (Edited)
Nastase was the first number 1, holding the record for most weeks from August 1973.
Connors took the record in May 1975 at 41 weeks.
Lendl in August 1990 at 269 weeks.
Sampras in August 1999 at 271 weeks.
Federer in July 2012 at 287 weeks
Djokovic in March 2021 at 311 weeks.

So Connors held it longest at over 15 years, but he started holding it at much younger age than the others because the bar was low initially.
Sampras held it for almost 13 years. Perhaps the most impressive hold of this list.
Lendl for 9 years.
Federer for just over 8.5 years.
Djokovic is likely guaranteed for 6+ years, it will almost certainly take a new #1 to break his record, and primary candidates to become #1, Thiem and Medvedev, are probably too old to break the record.

#418 ·
Djokovic needs to focus on Laver first at 353 ha

Tilden's 368 is farther away. Nole needs every week next 13 months so we gonna see
