I knew Federer was better than Sampras and this will finally prove it.

The record to really break is Pancho's 10 consecutive years at #1

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"

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.
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.

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).

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.
Bridgette Wilson > Mirka & Graf

I actually like Mirka more than Bridgette, (this has nothing to do with me being a Fedfan if you asked) she's more natural, I wouldn't mind going out with Bridgette, tho (hope Pete doesn't read this haha)

Agassi was no 1 for the bigger part of 1995, then again in 1999-2000
There have been lots of 1-week-at-no-1 journeymen like Rios, Rafter, Muster, Moya during Pete's time

And why on earth would you stop Nadal's count on December 27th? You're cheating him out of 3 weeks already...

oh my... i'm sincerly apologizing for this scandalous outrage !
but well, if there is somebody that should not complain about cheating, it has to be the nadal !
and if it makes you feel better... note that your dear roger has been cheated out of 3 weeks too.
