Mindblowing stat as Alcaraz closer to overtaking Nadal in most weeks as World Number One over legendary Spaniard against Djokovic
ATPThursday, 05 October 2023 at 10:21
Tennis like any other sport is a game of records. Players
strive to become the best in the business which separates them from the rest.
Like in anything, once you achieve the top spot, the
preference is to not leave it at any cost, and in tennis, it is nothing different.
In men’s singles tennis, the number one spot in the last
two decades has been dominated by the likes of Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, Switzerland’s
Roger Federer and Spain’s Rafael Nadal.
Out of the three, the 36-year-old is comfortably leading the
charts as he has stayed at the very top for 392 weeks.
The only other active player who has remained at the top of
the ladder for more than 200 weeks is Nadal (206). But it is clear that he has
now fallen behind quite a bit.
The distance between him and Djokovic is even greater than
the difference between him and Spain’s young sensation Carlos Alcaraz.
The 20-year-old has remained the world number one for 36
weeks and he needs another 171 weeks at the top of the ladder to surpass Nadal.
On the other hand, the 37-year-old is now 186 weeks behind
Djokovic in terms of staying at the top of the ATP rankings.
