What's his record at winning consecutive semi-finals at the moment?
Shocking to see Roddick having more weeks at number one than Becker!!! Is this real that the guy with 6 slams could be on ly at the top for 3 month in total?

Always an odd stat that one. I remember at the time whenever he got to number 1 there would be doubts about how long he would last there. He seemed to be consistently the number 2 in the world, either behind Wilander, Lendl or Edberg...... poor old Boris! :cry:
Yes probably extremely bad timing for him. when you think his career price money is close to being 25% extra than Edberg yet Edberg spent 6 times as many weeks at the top. Weird.
That was to me one of the toughest era....Well i mean big characters in the same arena.
I seem to remember Edberg spending a long time at number 1 in 90 and 91. It's weird he didn't make the "most consecutive weeks at no.1" list. He must have lost it every now and again to Lendl or perhaps Boris for a week or two at a time to prevent him from reaching 30 consecutive weeks.
I did not notice it till you guys mentioned it. Very funny....
I mean Roddick at 1 slam...compared to Becker's 6! and more weeks at no.1.
