When you think of longevity - do you first think time between first/last Grand Slam won, time between being #1, time between year end #1?
For example: at the moment, Federer's first Grand Slam was 2003 Wimbledon and his last was 2018 Australian Open. Nadal's first was 2005 French Open and his last was 2019 French Open. Federer has more longevity there by two Grand Slams.
Federer first got to #1 in February 2004. He was last #1 in June 2018. 14 Years and 4 months.
Nadal first got to #1 in August 2008. He was last #1 in October 2018. 10 years and 2 months.
Federer was first year end #1 in 2004 and last in 2009.
Nadal was first year end #1 in 2008 and last in 2017.
If Nadal wins another Grand Slam after this year's US Open and Federer never does, will you think of Nadal has having more longevity in his career than Federer?
