There has been many changes in the Top 10 ATP Rankings over the past four years. Players have come and gone, some bursting on the scene as a teenager while others have retired after an outstanding career.
But one ranking position has remained constant occupied by Roger Federer. Last weekend Federer reached the four year anniversary mark as the No. 1 player in the ATP Rankings.
It was Feb. 2, 2004 when the Swiss superstar claimed the top position in men’s tennis after winning his second Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.
For four years, or 210 weeks, Federer has been the only player to remain a constant fixture in the Top 10.
During Federer’s incredible streak at No. 1, the longest in professional tennis,
he has won 41 titles, including 13 ATP Masters Series and 10 Grand Slam crowns. Only another player has obtained excellent results but not comparable with Swiss performance - Rafael Nadal who with 23 titles, including 2 Grand Slams crows, has scaled from No. 40 four years ago to No. 2 of the ATP Ranking where the Spanish still remains and will try to be closer from the Swiss as soon as important events on clay commence – Monte Carlo, Barcelona (Godo), Rome, Hamburg and Roland Garros where Nadal feels very comfortable.
