Federer and Equal Record of Consecutive Year End Tournament Appearances

[McEnroeisanartist]

As Federer makes his final push in Bercy, he is trying to secure a record-equalling 12th consecutive appearance in the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.

This seems like an underrated achievement. Perhaps, it isn't getting its due, because he would be sharing the record with Ivan Lendl, who didn't just make 12 consecutive appearances in the Year End tournament, he reached 12 consecutive semifinals there!

What do you think?

Yes, clearly Federer couldn't even wear Lendl's sawdust container.

lendl's 9 consecutive year-end masters finals (and 12 SF) is really a massive tennis record.
