How big is the asterisk on that record?
Huuuuuuuuge.
Why? I agree that there is an asterisk on his year-end #1 position for 2020, but why is there an asterisk on his weeks at #1?

His gap over 2nd Ranked player in 2020 was 2000+ points, why do you think he doesn't deserve it?

His forcing Fed into No.2 . Nads will do the same at the slams .

There is one significant Djoker' record, which Fed/Nadal has not achieved so far.
Winning a grandslam title after saving match points.

USO 2011 and Wimbledon 2019. In both matches (semifinal at the USO and final at Wimbledon), Federer was the defeated opponent.

I don't think so, I can identify sarcasm. This is probably not a member that goes to TTW often, apparently doesn't know threads 40-15, he writed 2600 messages in almost 9 years.

The human brain can suppresses some traumatic experiences.But, but... how can a die-hard FEDERER fan not know that???

Could surpass Fed by an eternity too.
Medvedev has shown he can put very long streaks together including dominance over top-ten opposition but still can't get over the line in the Slams, and he is already 25 and probably close to his peak. He's one potential general threat to Djokovic's #1 status, but it's hard to see him getting too much in the way without actually bagging Slams. Maybe just a bit in the way, and snatching the #1 ranking for a short time.
So that leaves Nadal as the main roadblock to Djokovic for #1 ranking stats. He might be able to bag YE#1 again this year or next because of his absurd clay hauls when he dominates that season, which is most years.
I don't see why Djokovic won't reach 397+ weeks.

What a phenomenal achievement by Djokovic! The new weeks at No. 1 record holder!
Now I want him to go and hold it for at least another 50 weeks. The last thing I want to hear from Federer fans is that Djokovic 'merely' broke the record and didn't raise it far enough.

Exactly. This subject was dealt with in some detail in the fantastic movie Shutter Island.

Djokovic's plan is to make the record unreachable for the next 100 years minimum. He told me personally.

Because I don't think there should have been a year-end ranking based on half a year's play.

They played 3/4 majors. Many masters. That adds weight to the argument that it was legitimate.

It wasn't a "useless" record until Djokovic was on the verge of breaking it!

this is such a meaningless stat in entire tennis portfolio........tennis will always be about slams and slams alone.........nothing else matters........no one will remember how many weeks bug-3 spent doing nothing in the off season while adding weeks at #1 to their tallies.........

Consistent weeks at #1 more important.

Do you value weeks at no.1 more than YE1? I prefer YE1 as i like the idea players fight for it. It was a huge deal in 80s and 90s but actually seems less an issue nowadays.
