i agree... i suspect lendl and connors could have more top 2 weeks than this !Plus, I'm not sure that's a record either. Someone should check Jimmy Connors, and see how many weeks he spent as either #1 or #2.
Pancho who?
You srsly comparing tennis in the 40's/50's to the competitive tennis we have now?
No official record of that.. just the opinions of people.. sorry..

With your permission, wilanderfan, I'm gonna use this as my signature. Sounds like the right answer to many fan boi threads here on tw.
I detested the American and hope that Federer (or Nadal for that matter) scrub him off all his records.
The last big record Sampras posses are the 7 Wimbledon titles. I hope Fed wins Wimbledon this year and leaves Sampras with nothing, just with some "shares"
if we trust our usual secret informer, connors has indeed the record for the most consecutive weeks in the top 5, and with a comfortable margin:According to the ATP website Lendl only has 280 consecutive weeks in the top 2 (although there are some weeks missing from his ranking history from the early 80s, so he might have something like 300 weeks, but might also have less than 280). He has been top 3 for 497 weeks in a row, though, which probably puts him pretty high on the "best of all-time" list for that stat. It's hard to find out Connors' stats since the ranking information from the 70s is very scarce. It is, however, quite safe to say that he has the record for having been the most consecutive weeks ranked in the top 5. Possibly even in the top 2.
This is getting way too trivial now.

Why the hate for Sampras? He was boring but he wasnt particularly irritating like Agassi.
I hated the way he relied on his serve most of the time. Agassi was sort of the people's champion, might as well be a different attitude cause I was around 12-14 at the time when watching the 2.
That doesn't mean of course that I'm going to say bad stuff about Sampras, he was a great champion but never my type. The only thing I like(d) about him is his service motion.

He also has good taste in women you know. That’s one thing he’s better than Agassi & Federer.

And why on earth would you stop Nadal's count on December 27th? You're cheating him out of 3 weeks already...if we trust our usual secret informer, connors has indeed the record for the most consecutive weeks in the top 5, and with a comfortable margin:
