Federer and Another Record

[McEnroeisanartist]

Although, actual performance of course is more important than expected performance, it is still impressive that by being Seeded Number 1 at the French Open, Federer has set another record: Most consecutive Grand Slams Seeded Number 1. Previously, the record was held by Sampras (12) from 1996 Australian to 1998 U.S. Open.

Federer would have to be seeded number one at another 11 Grand Slams to also break Sampras' record of most Grand Slam #1 Seeds.

I'm pretty surprised that Sampras even has that record, he wasn't ranked #1 every week of every year, like Federer has been for some time. but I guess Pete was #1 quite a bit of each year, for him to be #1 seed at so many consecutive slams.

Federer would have to be seeded number one at another 11 Grand Slams to also break Sampras' record of most Grand Slam #1 Seeds.

so sampras was #1 seed 23 times in his career at slams?

man...i feel like in this era of fed-nadal tennis all the records are being broken/close to being.

Soon he will join Agassi, as the only two players to own the career slam since the death of wood raquets. He will break Samp's slam record by the 2008 USO and the GOAT debate will be finally be ......asleep.
