Very fact that a 2 time slam champion is at number 10 in the list who was finished by the age of 25 make this weeks at number one a farce.

Was Sakina not #1 without winning a slam? Wozniaki was also #1 years before she won a slam.

I still see him inside top ten for at least for 24 months more, unless he simultaneously develops not less than 5 new injuries on top on those of the chronic type he currently is suffering.

I am from Latam, and outside from Chile, and I remember Ríos for being a slamless short-tenured No.1.

My memories from the 1920’s are crisper than those from the 2020’s. However, I have to admit my 2020’s are definitely creepier.I like old films occasionally. Help me to learn about the past.
Are your memories of 1950 crisp?
Please indicate if I used the word however correctly because I like it so much, and wish to keep on using it.

Slams are a valid stat but Nadal's last slam is not valid.

Or being number 1 is harder than winning slams.

Well I'm not sure about that. A slam is worth about 15 weeks at #1.

Going by your logic Hewitt greater than Murray, Becker , Courier and many other greats lol. Do the maths son and see yourself

All I'm saying is 1 slam=15 weeks at #1 at most. It's only one part of the equation to determine greatness.

If you say one slam =15 then player with extra 15 weeks get one slam . Are you that low iq to not see the fallacy ? Becker had 12 weeks and Hewitt had 80 weeks do the maths . Going by your argument Becker and Wilander should be far behind Hewitt.

You seem to think she does. You need a maths tutorial?
if 1 slam = 15 weeks at No. 1 then 15 weeks at No. 1 = 1 slam
Graf has 377 weeks at No. 1 = 377 / 15 = 25 slams
In addition to the 23 she earned in the real world not cloud cuckoo land
equals 48. Said no one ever.

Easy there, Mr. Neutral, but clearly a fan of someone with 209 weeks.

I said they're worth the same, not that they're the same thing. Also it might be closer to 10 weeks or less, more data is needed.You seem to think she does. You need a maths tutorial?
if 1 slam = 15 weeks at No. 1 then 15 weeks at No. 1 = 1 slam
Graf has 377 weeks at No. 1 = 377 / 15 = 25 slams

Lmao so explain the 15 weeks =1 slams. Hewitt should have more slams than someone like Becker who has 6 slams and 12 weeks at number or someone like Wilander? lmao, can't even see fallacy in your own argument , clown.

To win a slam, you're supposably the best for 2 weeks, to be #1 for 15 weeks, you're supposably the best for 15 weeks. Simple enough? 15 is harder to fluke than 2.
So Novak is the best player for the last 15 weeks according to you. Great if you think so. ROFLMAO

Points last a year.
But you said to get number 1 for 15weeks you need to be the best player for 15 weeks. So the question is has Djokovic been the best player for the last 15 weeks?
Phoenix*
Professional
Sure, he has the most points.
So a player with 5-3 record in the last 15 weeks has been the best player. Thanks for the education. I look forward to more eye opening facts from you in the future. Also this to be serious this is dumb even by TTW standards which are pretty low as it is. LOL

Well then someone should win more and take over his ranking? If it's that easy to do. Mr. 209 weeks at #1 should take your advice.

I am amazed you still dont see the flaw in your argument that to have x number of weeks at number 1 you need to be the best player for x weeks. Just peaking for 6 weeks as seen by Novak can also do the trick. So In case of Novak his 3 slams wins have given him almost a year of weeks at number 1 inspite of being trash to start the season

He's a professional. Peaks in high reward events, recuperates in small ones. Still #1 therefore the best.

Best player for x number of weeks means that for each of those weeks the player had the best record for the prior 52 weeks (yes, I know it’s a mouthful)
so in recent weeks, even as he played like crap, Novak still had the best rolling 52 week record which is what weeks at number 1 measures

Greek era Basel was even higher. Must be one of the costliest tournaments

Really? Djokovic hasn't been the best for the last 4 months! Djokovic is currently ranke #84 so far in 2022.

Compare it to the other natural surface and the disparity becomes clear.
