I like old films occasionally. Help me to learn about the past.It's a great movie, you should watch it. The tale of a sad old hasbeen who cannot accept that the game has moved on.
It doesn't end well ....
Lol, I’m from Latam
No, not at all. Plus you are mixing players from different times. Who the hell remembers today who Andres Gimeno was?
Are your memories of 1950 crisp?
You did?
Love the Kurt Cobain avatar!Something tells me that recovery will be difficult for you.
Rafa has too many records that Djokovic can only dream about considering Rafa has only played a full season for less than half the years he's been on tour. Imagine if Rafa never had so many injuries.
Making things up to tarnish Rafa's reputation.
Refute Nadal’s ‘injuries’
That’s a meaningless stat
Sure hon, whatever you say
LOLLOLLLOLLLOLOLOL
This period has proved that #1 doesn't mean much when the current holder hasn't made a final all year.
How strong is your conviction that Federer has secured GOAThood for eternity?
In the minds of gullible people.
Didn’t know the year ends in April - keep digging, the whole of TTW is laughing
Oh the ironing…
LOL this will never not be funny. The way she disses Safina's Madrid and Rome titles LOL. The laugh LOL
@GabeT This is literally the answer to your question. The laugh at the end LOL
It doesn’t actually, if you bother to read the whole debate. I never focused on a 3 slam winner vs a no slam winner. And didn’t Novak have a similar situation towards the end of last year when it looked like he could lose the number 1 spot despite having 3 slams at the time? At least as I recall he handled that with more class. But to each their own
I think you told if anyone makes fun of players like Rios or Safina other than TTW and that was the answer to your question.
I don’t really follow the WTA
Isn’t that what TTW is for, after all?
Throwing dirt on each other's favourite players without any provocation? Is TTW about that. Obviously Novak has been the number 1 the longest. But if this stat of Nadal does not scream longevity, then I dont know what does. Why cant you appreciate that this stat is incredible and ridiculous at the same time. I agree that Novak's weeks at number 1 is so so incredible
I don’t think anyone doubts how incredible a player Nadal is. Nor his incredibly longevity. But trolling is what we do best here at TTW!
Which is why the ATP rankings go all the way to 1000 and over... because it's completely irrelevant.
In sports there is number 1 and then everything else
This isn't the point.
Remember when Connors' streak was considered mythical and unmatchable?
Nadal has now been ranked in the Top 10 of the ATP rankings non-stop for 17 years.
He first broke into the Top 10 as an 18-year-old on April 25th, 2005, rising from No. 11 to No. 7 after winning the first of his now-12 career titles in Barcelona. And despite all of his injuries over the years—he’s missed two Australian Opens, three Wimbledons and four US Opens since then—he’s never left the Top 10, not even for a week.
Today, a 35-year-old Nadal is ranked No. 4.
He’s held the record for longest Top 10 streak in ATP rankings history since November 2020, when he surpassed Jimmy Connors’ previous record of just over 15 years.
MOST CONSECUTIVE WEEKS IN TOP 10 IN ATP RANKINGS HISTORY (incl. this week):
866 weeks: Rafael Nadal (2005-present)
789 weeks: Jimmy Connors (1973-1988)
741 weeks: Roger Federer (2002-2016)
619 weeks: Ivan Lendl (1980-1992)
565 weeks: Pete Sampras (1990-2001)
Nadal’s weeks in the above chart do not include the 22 weeks the ATP rankings were frozen between March and August in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Guess who broke his record? It takes the GOAT to do it. Just like they thought Borg's RG record would last forever and Nadal has more than doubled it.
No, there are degrees of importance. Saying no 1 is everything and no 2 nothing is laughable.In sports there is number 1 and then everything else
Who am I to argue with the wisdom of a computer!
The GOAT is Djokovic - every single stat proves. And deep down inside you know and it’s eating you
Say that to John Connor...
Did he play tennis though?
