Former World No. 1 and 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal has claimed another record to his name in his illustrious career.
He now has a record of spending the most weeks (373 weeks) as World No.2 in the ATP Rankings.
Coincidentally, the Spaniard has spent the same number of weeks as his arch-rival Novak Djokovic has spent in the World No.1 rankings. Rafa has spent 209 weeks as the top player in the sport.
Nadal has ended the year as World No. 2 a record seven times in his career while finishing No.1 five times. He also has a record of finishing in the top 10 for 891 weeks and counting.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
