6 of the best unbreakable records in sports history
#3) Roger Federer (Tennis)- Most consecutive weeks at number one
Roger Federer can easily lay claim to the title of the greatest sportsman around the world. Federer has become a name synonymous with Tennis and he is still up there at the top despite already being 38-years old!
Federer has a host of records to his name such as the most Grand Slam single titles (20) and most men’s singles Grand Slam Finals including 10 on the trot between 2005 and 2007. However, with Rafael Nadal creeping behind him at 19 and Djokovic slowly coming back in his elements, both records may not last long.
However, his record of 237 consecutive weeks at number one is unlikely to ever be broken by anyone. In total, Federer has notched up 310 weeks at number one with 237 of them coming during his absolute prime in the mid 2000’s.
Of all the active players, no one comes close. Djokovic and Nadal are miles away from Federer and will have to begin the streak anew and keep at it for a little over four and a half years. This one is truly for keeps, a feather that will always remain in Roger Federer’s cap.
