Consecutive Weeks GREATER than Total Weeks at #1

[Lleytonstation]

So after doing a lot of soul searching and data research, I have changed my stance and come to the conclusion that consecutive weeks at #1 is GREATER than total weeks at #1.

Purely based on intense data analysis and unbias soul searching.

Simple: Feds 237 consecutive weeks is better than Djokers 122 consecutive weeks.

In my research I also UNBIASLY figured out the second most important #1 record is time between 1st and last time to hold it:
Fed: 14 years, 142 days
Djoker: 9 years, 219 days

Who's with me?

 

[PETEhammer]

so Nole's FOUR CONSECUTIVE SLAMS is greater than Fed's 20? Hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Sure.
And Feliciano López is the GOAT of tennis, because his record stands at 75 consecutive Grand Slam appearances.

Interesting. Will look into it.

It seems like those would be possibly the most objective criteria if you absolutely had to pick some way of measuring greatness without taking context into consideration. I would venture to add consecutive year end #1 backed up with number of years from first to last as a tie-breaker.

That third poll option is probably the best poll option I have ever seen on TTW lol. Applies to 90% of us at some point.

Well, it is coming so it is time to cope with it ha.

Playing in a weak era is apparently a plus now

By what criteria would rate an era as "weak"?

 

[Lleytonstation]

Playing in a weak era is apparently a plus now

Tennis IS a weak era now and has been for years.

Did you think this one through?

Without a weak era, Nadal and Djoker would be... you tell me.

I guess consecutive slams > slam count too. Djokovic GOAT.

No, no, no. My research concluded this only worked for Feds achievements.... wait I mean for weeks at #1.

Djokovic had 6 consecutive seasons of 10,000 ATP points from 2011-2016.

Federer never had such consistent results over the whole season for 6 seasons... he has more consecutive weeks at number 1 because his competition was a clay courter at number 2

 

[Third Serve]

Vamos Fedr

 

[PETEhammer]

Meh. Slams are important (very important) but only a small part of the calendar. Greatness is found also in overall consistency which I think is the OP's point.

OPs point is to bait the forum into oblivion which you well know

 

[Djokovic2011]

This forum's gonna be absolute dynamite in three weeks time and I for one am counting down the days.

Tick tock tick tock.......

 

[Phoenix1983]

OP - you are right, but greatest of all is consecutive Year End No 1's.

PETE = GOAT.

Finally, we agree.

in 3 weeks both of Federer's biggest records could very well be gone

Machan, I'm from Tamil Nadu. Tamil guys historically never watch Bollywood and the fact that I follow Sunny Deol is an exception to the rule. Sorry, I have no idea who that funny one is. In fact, besides Sunny Deol, I do not know of any Bollywood actors.

Yes, what matters isn't getting to the top, it's maintaining the dominance from there. What makes a player great is staying at the top unbroken. Not like Fed, whose 310 weeks are impressive but marred by the fact Nadal and Djokovic eclipsed him in the middle, and certainly not like Djokovic, who had his #1 run broken 4 times. Forget about Nadal, who couldn't even string 2 great seasons together.

True greatness is about unbroken dominance. Only one of the Big 4 has never relinquished the #1 ranking between his first and last week.

Mury GOAT.
