ATP: Roger Federer moves into the 1000s club

Roger Federer was satisfied with his 2018 season in London. The Swiss will soon set a new record on the ATP tour.

Roger Federer has finished the 2018 season in third place in the ATP World Ranking. And that’s 98 ranks better than 101. That’s been going on for a while now. Resourceful statisticians have calculated that Federer has already been a member of the top 100 players on the tour for 1,000 weeks since the publication of the current ATP charts.

Only one man is still ahead of the Swiss – but he will lose his record in the first half of 2019 in the absence of a surprising resignation from Federer: Andre Agassi, the great US-American, has spent a total of 1,019 weeks under the Tip 100.

Jimmy Connors, with whom Federer has a very special kind of bill open, follows in third place: Connors leads the all time list in terms of tournament wins, has finished his career with 109. Federer’s attack on the 100 is now over twice in the semi-finals: in Paris-Bercy against Novak Djokovic and at the ATP finals in London against Alexander Zverev.
