Nb: "open era" for both lists (in blue : active streaks)

as regards doubles, nestor is a good candidate with:

• 23 straight seasons winning a title [1994-2016]
• 24 straight seasons reaching a final [1994-2017]

LOL, I think when you started this list you had no idea the Nadal might end up first.

Other lists created by @vive le beau jeu ! where Nadal is likely to finish first:

1. People most likely to fall into an active volcano.
2. People most likely to lose all their hair before age 50.
3. People I wouldn't give the time of day.

Who is his rival in the semifinals?

Who is his rival in the semifinals?

Djere

 

[buscemi]

Monfils beats Djere, 7-5, 6-2, to make the Stockholm final. Updated list:

20 federer [2000-2019]
19 connors [1971-1989]; nadal [2004-2022]; monfils [2005-2023]
18 djokovic [2006-2023]
16 lendl [1979-1994]

 

[Moose Malloy]

Monfils is the oldest semifinalist and oldest finalist in the history of the Stockholm Open(which has been an event since 1969). Older than Ken Rosewall making a SF in 1970. Crazy longevity for players today.

i'm not that cruel: i'd give him the time of the day if he was sinking into a lava lake, regardless of his haircut or lack thereof...
(i know lava is supposed to be denser than the rusty peak injected golden bull, but let's please keep it fun)

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Vamos Rafa

 

[chrischris]

Monfils.. Mon dieu.

 

[buscemi]

And Monfils takes the title with a comeback win, 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-3 to become the oldest winner of the Stockholm Open:

[buscemi]

Monfils is into the Doha final, playing Mensik, who is less than half his age (37 vs. 18).

If Gael wins, he ties Federer for the Open Era record with 20 straight years reaching a final.

 

[Moose Malloy]

Djokovic ties Federer with 20 straight years reaching a final and passes Nadal with 20 straight years winning a title.

 

[gamelovergold]

Djokovic ties Federer with 20 straight years reaching a final and passes Nadal with 20 straight years winning a title.

 

[gamelovergold]

Fedrer reached atleast one final for 20 years but novak won atleast one title for 20 years.
Novak >fedrer by small margin.
And nadal what can be said eternal second.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

maybe i'll try later...

... or not?
