Federer Fifth in Total Weeks at No.1

Though Roger Federer now holds the record for the most consecutive weeks ranked as the world No. 1 (161), he still has far to go for the record for the most weeks at that position. Currently, that 161 is also his total number of weeks at the No.1 spot.

In Rome, in early May, he will probably pass John McEnroe, fourth on the list, with a total of 170 weeks at No.1.

But Jimmy Conners held the spot for a total of 268 weeks during his career; Ivan Lendl held it for 270 weeks; and Pete Sampras held it for 286 weeks.
