[Bubcay]

That first column looks very, very empty...

 

[ND-13]

Does anyone care about the rankings anymore

 

[Hitman]

Incredible to see Novak hold it from start to finish. It will be the last time we see that from him IMO.

 

[GabeT]

How many players have been #1 the whole year since we have weekly rankings?

 

[N01E]

How many players have been #1 the whole year since we have weekly rankings?

Since 1990:

Sampras 94, 97
Hewitt 02
Federer 05, 06, 07
Djokovic 15, 21

Since OE, but before 90
Connors 75, 76, 78
Lendl 86, 87

Incredible to see Novak hold it from start to finish. It will be the last time we see that from him IMO.

Maybe 2021 will be the last year we saw him on ATP tour.

 

[Adam Copeland]

Since 1990:

Sampras 94, 97
Hewitt 02
Federer 05, 06, 07
Djokovic 15, 21

Since OE, but before 90
Connors 75, 76, 78
Lendl 86, 87

Good to see Hewitt in this list, he is a champ who doesn't get his due.

 

[Hitman]

Maybe 2021 will be the last year we saw him on ATP tour.

Yeah, well...
