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.
