For all the record-breaking prowess of the Big 3, most of the important records in men's tennis are not as big as the equivalent records on the women's side. Steffi Graf, Serena Williams, Margaret Court and Martina Navratilova all hold formidable records that have been unmatched by male players.
Just to be clear: I know the games are separate, and I'm not trying to draw any equivalences. The exercise in comparison is just out of curiosity and is a way of appreciating the greats on both sides.
Anyway, the one big record that springs to mind is consecutive weeks at #1 (Federer: 237; Serena and Steffi tied on 186).
What else have we got?
