Amazing result champ - your consistency is unrivaled, long may it continue!
*raises glass* Congratulations Roger.

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).Nole is forced to hold No. 1 for 53 weeks to regain his previous efficiency.
Hewitt at No. 3. Respect !!!
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.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.
That is true. Wilander is actually the one who has topped the most different ranking lists in only one stretch.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.

(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)Code:Federer 8370 (20.11.06) Nadal 7845 (11.05.09) Djokovic 7785 (12.09.11) Murray 5505 (24.08.09) Agassi 5208 (03.04.00) Hewitt 5205 (12.08.02) Roddick 5185 (02.08.04, n2) Kuerten 4750 (10.09.01) Ferrero 4570 (20.10.03) Safin 4300 (03.05.01) Del Potro 3845 (11.01.10, n4) Coria 3770 (5.07.04, n3) Söderling 3760 (21.02.11, n4) Sampras 3739 (23.10.00, n1) Norman 3610 (17.07.00, n2) Davydenko 3525 (22.03.10, n6) Tsonga 3500 (06.08.12, n6) Nalbandian 3360 (12.06.06, n3) Ferrer 3350 (16.07.12, n5) Ljubicic 3315 (21.08.06, n3) Schuettler 3205 (17.11.03, n6) Moya 3160 (09.06.03, n4) Kafelnikov 3145 (19.11.01; n4) Berdych 3070 (11.06.12, n7) Rafter 3065 (10.09.01, n4) Haas 3030 (19.08.02, n3) Grosjean 2865 (19.11.01, n6) Henman 2825 (13.09.04, n4) Gonzalez 2810 (21.05.07, n5) Enqvist 2693 (11.09.00, n6) Robredo 2645 (02.04.07, n6) Blake 2605 (29.01.07, n6) Verdasco 2560 (03.05.10, n9) Corretja 2475 (04.12.00, n8) Gaudio 2440 (16.05.05, n6) Youzhny 2440 (04.10.10, n8) Kiefer 2435 (21.02.00, n4) Costa 2385 (22.07.02, n6) Simon 2375 (06.07.09, n7) T Johansson 2365 (22.04.02, n8) Novak 2355 (21.10.02, n5) Tipsarevic 2315 (13.08.12, n8) Pioline 2307 (12.06.00, n6) Gasquet 2220 (09.07.07, n7) Monfils 2150 (22.08.11, n7) Melzer 2135 (25.04.11, n8) Cilic 2135 (19.04.10, n11) Baghdatis 2111 (25.09.06, n8) Fish 2110 (28.11.11, n8) Canas 2075 (13.06.05, n8) Ancic 2075 (05.02.07, n9) Clement 2025 (06.08.01, n11)
Not even a full decade, only 8 years and 8 months.So Sampras' records lasted a decade. Federer's did too...
Impossible, the younger bums are nowhere near as consistent as Federer and Djokovic or good on all surfaces to have a chance.Will someone born in the 2000's cause this thread to be bumped in 2032?
