Another record: 161 consecutive weeks at No. 1

Early this week Roger Federer celebrated his 161st consecutive week ranked number 1, in the process breaking Jimmy Connor's 30-year-old record. CONGRATULATIONS TO ROGER!!!

The ATP has a nice article congratulating Roger on its website and has put up a special photo gallery tribute. There are a few more related articles about Federer worth reading: one in the Belfast Telegraph , another in the New York Times and then the report from Reuters. Just scanning all the stats included in the articles sends shivers down my spine. If you think of it, when you combine what both Nadal and Roddick have achieved, they'd still be second behind Federer in the ATP rankings.

It's really scary what this great athlete has already achieved and I just can't imagine how far he can go in the years to come.
