Before his 34th birthday, Nadal will surpass the record of Connors as the tennis player with more consecutive weeks in the top 10.

Murray is done.

Roger Federer has been the undisputed greatest tennis player of all time for 9 years and two months (since winning his 15th real tennis slam at the 2010 Australian open)

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

10 consecutive years as GOAT.

 

[Red Rick]

More than 12 years between first and last time they were #1, #2 and #3 in the world.

I guess they're not quite there, but I'm sure they'll get there with Zverev dropping bucketloads of points this clay season.

This is the most surprising one to me of the ones you listed. I didn't think it was correct either as I thought Djokovic and Murray were top 2 for all of 2016, but it turns out Federer tied Murray in points for #2 for exactly 1 week during the week of Rome.

Andy must've had a boatload of points he failed to defend at the time. Because there's no reason for Fed's ranking to increase that spring when he'd just lost all of his 2015 Dubai/IW/Miami points while still recovering from surgery.

 

[Terenigma]

Nadal's years in a row with an injury preventing him from playing: 17. 2003-2019 with the streak still unbroken since he's already been injured this year.

Amazing really.

Nadal's streek may not be the most notable but definitely the most surprising/unexpected.

Ya Murray lost almost as many pts as Fed did from that swing as he followed up his 2015 SF/F at IW/Miami with two 3R losses. Then he was the defending Madrid champion, but lost the final to Djokovic which is what dropped him to equal Fed during the week of Rome. After Murray won Rome he was back at #2 solo and then Novak/Murray stayed 1-2 until their 2017 season ending injuries.

From 2016 Paris until 2017 RG it was Murray/Djokovic 1-2. Then Djokovic dropped to 4 after failing to defend RG. From then until 2017 Cincinnati it was Murray/Nadal 1-2.

30* consecutive grand slam matches won for Djokovic

Terrific, but not an active streak. If he wins the FO, that will, of course, put him at 28 coming into Wimbledon.

Isnr?

16 consecutive years of slam semifinals is a special.

Novak's active streak of 21 slam matches is obviosly relevant in a slightly different manner.

Oops, My bad!

 

[Djokovic2015]

From 2016 Paris until 2017 RG it was Murray/Djokovic 1-2. Then Djokovic dropped to 4 after failing to defend RG. From then until 2017 Cincinnati it was Murray/Nadal 1-2.

I didn't mean the order was Djok/Murray just that they were top 2 in that time frame. You are correct that Djoko fell out of the top 2 prior to his season ending injury, as he dropped to 4 at RG, and then played Wimbledon before calling it a season, but the injury was pretty obvious in inhibiting his play at RG.

Additionally, yes Murray held on to a top 2 spot for a few weeks even after calling it a season due to the points lead he already had built up, but he was functionally gone after Wimbledon as well (and that RG match vs Stan is basically what ended his season). Both players were basically physically broken by RG and then tried to play grass on will alone when it was probably a mistake.

 

[Tennis_Hands]

Nadal's streek may not be the most notable but definitely the most surprising/unexpected.

There is nothing unexpected if you remove the fake claims about the seriousness of most of his injuries, but many of his fans prefer to both blindly believe in that nonsense and as a result be surprised that it doesn't affect his winning streaks. It is a full-fledged "circular delusion-turned-miracle" type of situation.

 

[chut]

Well, imo there are 4 categories:

The miscellaneous:
Winning percentage.. i'm not putting too much on this, the threshold effect + injuries can distort these stats easily
14 years in a M1000 final: not really interesting, just like 20 years reaching a final for Federer. We know these guys are incredibly good and consistent.
20 years in GS 4th round also enters that category (It looks like a Gasquet stat...)

The "nice ones but someone is doing it better":
Winning a title for 15 years > winning a title for 14 years, so Djokovic will pass on that one.
Same goes for 14 years reaching slam QF when Federer has 16 years reaching SF

The "good ones, but you don't have the record yet"
21 slam matches are special, because we all know it means 3 slams in a row. It happened to each of them though. Djokovic owns the all time record here and he won't be challenged again, at least not by Federer (27) or Nadal (25)
728 weeks in the top 10 by Nadal, is poised to surpass Federer (stopped at 734) soon and likely to take over Connors who sits at 785. I must admit i'm amazed and it's probably the best stat in the lot. Those 14 years consecutive are also looking good, but the weekly count is even more impressive, since it's harder to achieve.

The "it's the record" stat
16 years being top2 at one point. Both amazing and not so amazing, since we all know that 2016 was rather a bad year from Federer so he achieved this by chance.

So my favorite one is Nadal's consecutive weeks in top 10. I must admit i never thought he would be the one of those 3 holding such a consistency record!
