Hall of Fame
With Federer now owning the record for most consecutive weeks ranked number one in the world, I wonder where this ranks compared to other great men's tennis achivements. Some to consider:
Federer being the only player in the Open Era to win Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in three consecutive years.
Lendl reaching at least the finals of the U.S. Open for eight consecutive years.
McEnroe winning both the singles and doubles championship at a Grand Slam on five occasions.
Sampras winning Wimbledon in seven out of eight years.
Borg winning the French Open and Wimbledon in three consecutive years.
Connors reaching at least the semifinals of the U.S. Open for 12 consecutive years.
