[閒聊] Federer Surpasses Four Anniversary at No. 1

[megar ()]

這是ATP網站上的文章，除了Federer當上no.1已經四年之外，文章中也提到一些
有趣的排名方面的事情。

以下是這篇文章原文尾端，Atp對於目前top10與4年前的top10做出的比較，男網
這四年來雖然說是獨霸，但是變化倒也不小，除了Federer四年來保持世界第一，
Roddick也幾乎連續4年都保持在top10內，(只有4個星期例外)，Nalbandian則是
在四年中間有起有落，在去年年尾回穩，現在是世界第九。除了這三個人之外，
其他Top10的選手，在四年前幾乎都是50名開外(Nadal例外)。而現在世界第三
的Djokovic四年前居然排名也不過六百多名，當然他那時恐怕才剛轉職業，不過
這也足證他進步快速與網壇的變化競爭之大吧!!

看了4年前的top10名單，也有小小唏噓之感 ...
退休的Agassi   沉浸在幸福婚姻的Srichaphan
飽受傷病的Coria Philippoussis  Schuettler
繼續努力的Ferrero Moya等 ......

ps.根據這篇文章，Federer跟Roddick也是現役球員中，唯二連續六年年終排名
   維持在top10之內的選手。也是現役球員中，維持top10排名最長的兩個人。

   另外，Federer Nadal Roddick也是唯三，在這四年間，贏得超過10個冠軍的
   球員(Federer 41  Nadal 23  Roddick 12 )

There has been many changes in the Top 10 South African Airways ATP Rankings
over the past four years. Players have come and gone, some bursting on the
scene as a teenager while others have retired after an outstanding career.

But one ranking position that has remained constant occupied by Roger Federer.
Last weekend Federer reached the four year anniversary mark as the No. 1
player in the South African Airways ATP Rankings.

It was Feb. 2, 2004 when the Swiss superstar claimed the top position in men's
tennis after winning his second Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.

For four years, or 210 weeks, Federer has been the only player to remain
a constant fixture in the Top 10. One other player, Andy Roddick, has spent
nearly as much time as Federer in the Top 10, ranking there all but four weeks. Roddick was also the last player to rank No. 1 before Federer's reign at the top.

Four years ago, Roddick and David Nalbandian were the other players who
joined Federer in the Top 10 (see chart below).  Federer and Roddick have
finished in the Top 10 the last six years, the longest current streak among
active players.

During Federer's incredible streak at No. 1, the longest in professional
tennis,he has won 41 titles, including 13 ATP Masters Series and 10 Grand
Slam crowns. Only two other players have won at least 10 titles in the last
four years -- rival Rafael Nadal (23) and Roddick (12).

Federer has compiled a 313-25 (.926) match record (41-9 in finals) while at
No. 1 and he previously was 243-110 (.688) with 12 titles in 20 finals.

At 26 years old, Federer has his sights on three other players to have each
spent more than 200 weeks at the top of the ATP Rankings: Pete Sampras (286
weeks), Ivan Lendl (270) and Jimmy Connors (268). Sampras led the ATP circuit
with a record six year-end No. 1 finishes from 1993-98.

Here is a look at the ATP Rankings four years ago and this week along with
the ranking of the current Top 10 and where they ranked on Feb. 2, 2004:
