This is wrong. Greg Rusedski is the highest ranked Canadian ever at 4. He was born in Montreal.

Milos counts for Montenegro, not Canada.

How come Argentina not listed in No.4 category? Del Potro once reached ranking 4 and so did Soderling for Sweden.

Oops got it, sorry for my mistake, just saw Vilas already represented Argentina in rank 2 position and Borg for Sweden at rank 1 position.

Great thread.

No. 6

Canada (Raonic)
This is wrong. If Lendl is Czech than Rusedski is Canadian.

Lendl was Czech until 1992, when his best days were past him. Rusedski changed nationality in 1995 ahead of his career best ranking (1997).

It makes little difference, though, once Raonic' career high is updated to #4 as Rusedski was never ranked higher than #4.

Then the record listing should be changed to "highest ranking for tennis players under their ATP nationality."

Rusedski shares the record with Raonic. If Milos reaches 3 then the issue is moot.

And I hate taking a Canadian record away from someone who was born in Canada.
