Federer record of 22 consecutive semifinal appearances at the GS is one of the greatest feat among all sports
His streak belongs in the same feat with these legends.....
• Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak in 1941 for the New York Yankees. Pete Rose's 44 games is second on the all-time list.
• Edwin Moses' 107 consecutive victories in 400-meter intermediate hurdles finals. The American went 9 years, 9 months and 9 days without a loss before falling to Danny Harris in 1987.
• Cael Sanderson's 159-0 wrestling career at Iowa State. He remains the only undefeated wrestler in college history, winning three NCAA titles at 184 pounds and one at 197.
• The Edmonton Oilers' Wayne Gretzky's streak of scoring at least a goal or an assist in 51 straight games in 1983-84.
• Orel Hershiser's run of 59 consecutive scoreless innings in 1988 for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
• Russia's Greco-Roman super heavyweight wrestler Alexander Karelin went 13 years without losing a match -- a full decade without surrendering a point -- before losing to Rulon Gardner at the Sydney Olympics.
"It's just ridiculous," Lendl added. "
There is no other way to say it. You can't explain it to people, it's just absurd."
"It says," Lendl mused,
"how much better he is than anybody else."
"It's pretty safe to say," said ESPN analyst Darren Cahill,
"it's one record that will never be broken."
“I don’t think you can ever get your game to perfection, you know. Only if you’re Federer,” Djokovic said.
