Roger ties with Connors

01.02.2010 | Tennis

Roger's 16th grand slam title has secured him some space at the top of the ATP world ranking. Quite a few changes have occurred directly behind him, though: Novak Djokovic (2) and Andy Murray (3) have moved up, Rafael Nadal has fallen to fourth place.

Roger reached 268 weeks as number one of the ATP ranking today and has thus leveled Jimmy Connors' best mark. Ahead of him lie only two further players: Ivan Lendl (270) and Pete Sampras (286). And our champ certainly is on track to breaking these rekords, too!

1. Pete Sampras (USA) : 286

2. Ivan Lendl (CZE/USA) : 270

3. Jimmy Connors (USA) and Roger Federer (SUI) : 268

5. John McEnroe (USA) : 170

6. Björn Borg (SWE) : 109

7. Andre Agassi (USA) : 101

8. Lleyton Hewitt (AUS) : 80

9. Stefan Edberg (SWE) : 72

10. Jim Courier (USA) : 58

Roger, congrats on making 268 weeks at number one; I'm sure Pete is aware of this fact too again congrats on being number one.

I am sure you will beat these records and you so deserve to, but what should go on record is how you are as a man and the good things that you are doing to help those less fortunate.
I am not a religous person but GOD bless you ROGER!

YEEES! But were any of these weeks consecutive? That's a separate record, isn't it, that you were #1 for 4 1/2 years consecutively.
But this is a wonderful milestone. No reason at all why uou can't tie--and surpass--and be the sky that others will aim f
