Nadal's 200th week as number one of the ATP Ranking

Roger Federer, Pete Sampras, Novak Djokovic, Ivan Lendl and Jimmy Connors spent more time as world number 1 than Rafael Nadal. However, Nadal is 4 years older than Djokovic and Lendl who achieved this at the age of 29 years.

Earlier this year, Nadal spoke about being world number 1, he said: “Sometimes when you are No. 1, for example, I know I am going to be No. 1. It’s always not that you win this point and you are No. 1. So that makes a big difference. For me, the first time that I have been No. 1 in my tennis career was 2008 for me. It was something that was really important because for four years, almost, I have been there being No. 2 and playing great tennis.”
