Ranking History of Top 10 Men's Tennis Players (1990-2019)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มี.ค. 2019
- Hi guys, how are you doing lately? I'm a little busy with my work and I don't have the time to start a new project. so I decide to update this video and fix some mistakes before I move on to next one.
Ivan Lendl's nationality is fixed in this version. He played for Czechoslovakia until 1992 when he became an US citizen.
I couldn't update women's version due to the bug on the WTA website. The date widget won't allow me to choose a date other than today's date. I hope they can address this issue soon.

The last 15 years, 3 names have been dominating: FEDERER, NADAL, DJOKOVIC.
*DJOKOVIC, FEDERER, NADAL
And to a lesser extent, Murray.
@@diime02 good joke
Murray is right up there for at least 10 years. Not just 4th to the great 3 but often 2nd or 3rd and for 1 whole year he was 1st. Nobody else has got to the top while the great 3 have been around.
@@angusmcdonald892 del potro is also there, i mean everyone love him
Djokovic, Nadal and Federer. When they finish their careers, there will be a big void.
true, my guess is that a lot of fans will not actively follow the sport anymore
You are correct. They have helped the Sport become what it is right now as far current Tennis History.
Plz don't think about this but maybe in 5 year one of them legand will retire
@@mahendrabhaioza2085 of course eventually one of them will Retire.
There will always be new tennis players to follow Rafa, Roger and Novak footsteps guys and as long as you, me and all of us Tennis Lovers continue to love and watch tennis, this game will continue to exist, and maybe Agassi & Steffi or Roger's sons will lord it over in the years to come! Vamos Rafa! Ha! Ha! Ha! Happy New Year Guys! Changing of the guards?, maybe but not soon!
Andy Murray, such a silent hero of this video. The only person to reach #1 in Djokovic, Federer, Nadal era and also the only one to interfere with their dominance when they were all healthy and in good shape. Amazing
That's probably the highest level of difficulty in tennis. To be a No.1 while 3 of the best ever are in the gamen and hold the ground for whole year. Much harder than beating Nadal on clay.
Andy was part of the Big Four. Its a shame his injuries set him back. He´s a hell of a tennis player.
@@Michel190778 yes a great player and a double olympic gold winner which will take some beating. Such a shame about his injuries but that's the risk of this level of elite competition. It's also astonishing for how long Fed has been competitive. His career is probably fading out now but what a career it has been. It's likely impossible but I'd love him reclaim the number 2 spot to achieve it in 3 different decades.
I always had a good feeling about Murray when he first started playing and wasn't surprised when he won some big titles. Sad that his career died down so quickly. He had a really good range of skills, not one dimensional.
Most underrated player.
Because of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, I had forgotten that in my whole childhood and teenage year, Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras was the most well known players back then.
🇯🇵Kei Nishikori, the asian hope
Only Japan can compete with western sports in asia
@@justiny.8 Heung min Son??
Arush Son is not best. Nakata is better than him as football
I grew up with Agassi, Sampres, Haas, Becker. I loved the Serve and Volley from Sampres. But later on, I transitioned to be a fan of Nadal, liked his unbending will to win on clay. Don't know if I will continue to watch Tennis, after the greatest players of the 2020s retire.
@@justiny.8 ...bro only an Asian American like michael chang has hope. The Japanese can't compete in today's tennis. Well may be women's but then they have to accept hafus as part of their country. (You need to win a grand slam to prove me wrong here)
Federer, Nadal and Djokovic joins the game..
Others: WTF Ban *Hackers* plzzzz...
sampras & lendl?
@@flamencolo They arent in same level as those 3
hahahaha lol
murray not bad too
You mind is Doping?
Nadal never left top ten with his many injures... Awesome
it was cuz he got injured after clay tourmanets where his poitns were and even with minor injuries he performed well there
Although Federer is the more allround player (and also my personal favorite), you can't deny that Rafa is the GOAT in terms of winning. He will have the most grand slams next year and also has Olympic gold.
Federer ain't the most complete. He only has won 1 Slam on clay.
@@woutervanes3533 I think Djoko will end up with the most he is too consistent compared to nadal
@@nakuliyer4693 You are just penalizing Nadal for being most dominant on his favorite Slam (Roland-Garros) than Federer on his favorite Slam (Wimbledon), but not for having his Slams less evenly distributed by surface. Which makes no sense. Nadal has his Slams more evenly distributed by surface than Federer. In effect, Nadal has won at least 2 Slams on each surface (hard, grass and clay). Federer only has 1 Slam on clay. 2 Slams on each surface >>>> 1 Slam on each surface. 2 >>> 1. Nadal has his Slams more evenly distributed by surface than Federer.
23:00 that Novak's comeback though... damn.
Out of nowhere straight to the top.
same is going to happen with Andy someday, I BELIEVEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Haha i thougt i was the only one who notice it, thats why his the goat for me
@nilotpal rai when? when was Nadal out of top 10, even top 15-20 like Novak and managed to bounce back from being outside of top 20 to winning 2 grandslams in a row, completing the 9 masters 1000 wins (golden masters), winning another few tournaments and playing another couple of finals in only 6 months to end up as the year number 1? I'm sorry but he hasn't, even at his worst Nadal was still dominating/doing good on clay and winning titles. He was never outside of top 10 so he must've been winning tournaments to stay inside top 10.
That's why he's the best. But you haven't figured that out yet
Rankings in weeks spent since each first breaking into the top 10 (2002, 2005 and 2007 respectively) :
#10 - #4 : Federer 184..... Nadal 173 .... Djokovic 69
#2 & #3 : Federer 440 .... Nadal 422 ..... Djokovic 292
#1 : Federer 310 .... Nadal 209 ..... Djokovic 334
We can argue who is the best of the three, but we should appreciate how much fun it has been to watch Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic play. Their level of play over so many years is just incredible.
U're right ! we're so lucky to be able to watch 3 men that would have crushed the game if they had played during different decades fight together. They made their sport history, each of them, and as a trio.
Also Murray deserves credit, his win percentage and consistency was there about’s between 2008-2017 until his big hip injury.
@@jgooner894 yeah but still he wasn't ever as dominant as big three his best year in terms of GS was 2016 but after that he went down
@@akshatsharma6501 Yeah I know, those are probably the 3 greatest players ever so for him to be there abouts consistently is a great achievement. I think he’s like in the top 5 in the open era for the amount of SF’s and Finals he’s made, that shows his quality. He’s had to come up against those 3 in those stages.
Can't argue anymore after last several months, Djokovic is clearly the GOAT, H2H better, weeks at #1 best, same masters wins as Nadal (and better than Fed) and tied with 20 slams.
17:30 Novak Djokovic joined the game.
22:30 Novak Djokovic left the game.
23:10 Reconnected.
Full bar connection this time I think, GO NOLE!
Steven Norris So hyped for US Open bro,so close on surpassing Nadal in number of GS,next stop Roger Federer. G O A T! 🐐
Mladen Stevanovic L! Nadal is Goat. Will win Us Open, nerd. Haha
Roan Hoang just relax and watch..:)
Btw, It's interesting how Nishikori also left and reconnceted around the same time. Of course he has never reached the real top.
14:38 ... those top 3 GOATs are still on the top 3 after 12 years! Amazing!
@billybhoy 79 lol what did he do???lol stop trying to make him happen, he never was, never will be.....
@@Rash23215 I can't believe how underrated Murray is. People think he is not that good because he "only" won 3 slams, but he is Top 20 of the Open Era. He is a legend.
@@charlie172011 - well in my opinion there is only BIG 3 , and Murray can`t be in the same group as them.
In every achivement he is a distant fourth. Many people do not underrated Murray , but simply have resistance to media push narrative of so colled big four. We do not buy that.
Now say all that , on the other hand for me Murray IS without any doubt a true tennis legend.
In any other tennis era he would easy surpass legends such as Agassi , Lendl, Connors, McEnroe, Wilander, Becker etc..
Bad timing to show up on a big tennis stage.
There is a BIG 3
than a gap
than Murray
than a gap
and then all the rest leading with Wawrinka
@@danielkurtovic9099 I agree. But I do believe there is a Big4. It just doesn't mean what people think it means.
@@charlie172011 - If you compare just Murray ( without a Big 3) with the rest of field -
he IS a head and shoulders above all of them.
But for me there is no Big4 , simply the gap between Murray and them for me is too big , to put him in the same category with them.
I do not know what Big4 meant for you , can you explain to me , maybe I can agree with you mate?
Andre Agassi remained in the top 10 for almost 15 years! What a legend!

I just find it amazing that Murray snatched that number 1 spot from those three monsters. Cheers on him.
Novak, Rafa and Roger were to strong in the last decade..That is why his achievement is even greater.. even thought it lasted only for that short time period.. respect!
FitaStats Definitely
Incredible really though I must admit it is bittersweet isn't. Looked like it was finally his time to dominate. Hope he gets back to a good level
Getting to first while these 3 beasts were still going strong is an insane achievement. Just shows how good Murray was at his peak. People don't appreciate him enough. No one else managed to snatch first from the top 3. And he didn't just do it for like 2 weeks, he was first for quite a while! You can't hate that man tbh.
Novak was injured for about 6 months when Murray reached #1, notice how quickly Novak shot back up to #1 when he was fit again!
The fact that Rafa has never once left the top 10 since 2005 is astonishing..
Novak once left because of injury its not that hard its not top 3
Federer hasn’t left it since 2002...

When/if the virus ends the three will be rested , away from completion equally and hungry to win. Sadly I give Djokovic the edge but Fed and Rafa will be there with him. I give Fed two more Majors. Rafa Three. Djokovic six. Taking the lead in majors. But will not surpass Fed on number of tournaments won.
@@PJ-uu5ef Even tho I am a Djoker fan, It would be very funny and interesting if all of them ended up with 22 GS each, so that we could debate and argue whole life who is better :DD

Murray was doing well at no.1 then a career ending injury and he's out. Shame, was his time.
Perhaps Murray has traded the rest of his career and part of his health for a year-end no.1..

You noticed the point format changed in 2009 , right?

@@Nicotine46 Yeah but Djokovic have Federer and Nadal as opponents and Federer.....Baghdatitis,Rodick and Co
@@bitburgerpivo Lol like Federer doesn't have Nadal and Djokovic as opponents for most of his carrier. Nadal is on top since 2005.
People, it's not fair to compare results and players from different eras, the conditions were a lot different than today's and it plays a huge factor in tennis itself.
Everything changed since rackets, balls, courts, marketing, training, diets, the people itself (height, nutrition, environment, money), etc.
You can't even compare Federer to Djokovic who is 6 years younger.
It's compared by points bro :)
And it's not even that too.
It's simply the week by week top 10 rankings.
Sir Alexander it’s always fair to compare if you put in context it’s easy
Roddick looks like Stifler from "American Pie".
and it looked like Murray got pushed off a cliff he disappeared so fast.
Injury.
20:34 Djokovic with the same points for almost 4 months lul
Defended everything :)
This style of ranking videos is absolute perfection. Two gripes though: The player image is obstructing the points quite a lot, and the music in the previous version was a lot more fitting.
I'd love to see more like these :)

It's freaking insane to watch promising and indeed successful players like Murray, Roddick, and Wawrinka rise and fall all while Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic just keep resurging over and over again. In 2016, it looked like Federer and Nadal may be on the way out due to the wear and tear. One year later, they split the four slams. Then in 2017, it looks like Djokovic might be degrading, one year later he's winning slams again. Meanwhile, multiple guys who entered around the same time as Nadal and Federer's dominant rise and battled them early on like Roddick are *retired*.
Players come and go but legends are here to stay (read Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic).
Lovely representation of all the big boys of Men's Tennis)
Andy Murray was so good back then. Despite his injuries he mananged to claim two times Olympic Champion, man is a beast

Argentina 2005, 3 players in the Top 10.
Manages to lose to Slovakia at the Davis Cup...
Why are we still here? Just to suffer?
So the 90's started with a nice three-way rivalry between Edberg, Becker, and Lendl. Eventually giving way to Courier who had a nice stretch. Then the rest of the decade was dominated by Sampras with a rotating cast of competition. Most notably Agassi and Rafter. The noughts started with a good mix at the top, with Safin, Kuerten, Ferraro, Agassi, Hewitt, and Roddick all competing. Then in 2004, the Golden Age of Tennis began. Federer becomes #1 and dominates. Roddick is the next closest but he loses pretty much every time. A couple years later Nadal enters the scene and becomes Federer's only real competition. By 2008, Djokovic and Murray arrive and help form the Big Four. The next 9 years the Big Four dominate tennis like has never been seen before (shout-out to Wawrinka for being one of the few contenders). Murray slowly drops off due to injury problems (perhaps still the 4th best player of all-time), and the Big Four becomes the Big Three. And since 2017, the Big Three continue to dominate. For the last 16 years, one of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray has been the world number one. In a sport that traditionally players are only in their prime for 3-5 years. How much longer can they keep this up? Who will be the next star of tennis? Zverev? Tsitsipas? Shapovalov? Auger-Aliassime? Medvedev? Rublev? Sinner? I would say in the next year or two we can expect a new number one, but I've learned to never count out Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal.
Before it's all done, I hope Federer wins another Grand Slam and takes back the world #1 for one last stint. I hope Nadal and Djokovic both reach 20 Grand Slam Championships. And I hope Murray is able to come back from injury for one last miracle run and win one more Grand Slam (or both the Aussie and French Open to get the Career Slam).
It's very likely Nadal and Djokovic get at least 22 GS
Sampras era would've been much nicer if he had a true rival. Everyone wanted it to be Agassi, but let's be real, if it mattered Pete always won. This current BIG3 only exists because of each other. If there was no Nadal or Djokovic, I truly believe Federer would've retired a few years ago, he would simply have become bored. Now they are pushing each other to heights never seen before.
Andy Murray is about the 17th or 18th best player of all time. Not the 4th.
I always thought Federer was more dominant for being #1 than Sampras... but he really only held it for four years (then battled with Nadal and Djokovic for the last 10 years)... Sampras was unbeatable for a good 7 years with some splashes of other players here and there. And Agassi was a big surprise... still in the top 10 at age 36. Pretty crazy.
Nole 16.790 points wtf ????

O Guga é um grande orgulho pro Brasil, tri campeão de Roland Garros e um carisma sem igual.
Damn when Pete Sampras almost dominated the 90's ranking. I miss Pete💪👑🏆
Gustavo Kuerten representing Brazil on the top. Awesome!!!
14:04 the legend appeared
MalfarO MM he can barely beat a 38 year old Roger Federer. Imagine him trying to deal with him (Fed)in 2006.
Karlo Popuschek I’ve been watching tennis since 1974. Never in the past or now have I seen such a complete tennis player than Roger Federer. When at the top everyone is aiming at you. Sure Novak is a very good player. Now ranked #1 but still isn’t that much better than Federer. On any given day at 38 years old can beat Novak. 2019 Wimbledon Djokovic took the title but Roger was the better player that day. The tournament before that Federer defeated Novak to indeed Djokovic and Rafa ended the year at #1. The main Stat I like for all-time rankings is weeks at #1 consecutively. This men’s they were at the top the longest. And Roger holds that. Plus winning US open 5 years in a row. Winning 3 out of four majors 3 times losing the French to Rafa twice in the Final. Ten major finals in a row winning eight of them. Ranked by ATP #1 all time and voted by the fans #1 just last year. Novak and Rogers head to head is almost equal. Same as Roger and Rafa. No doubt all three are great at the sport but Federer is the GOAT.
the yy he‘d smoke him actually
Vibing Shizuko Even when Federer was injured in The Australian Open this year Novak had difficulty beating Federer. In Wimbledon Federer had two Match points before losing in a tie breaker fifth set. Tournament before that Federer beat Novak to take away his number one ranking. So to use the term smoke him is over exaggerated. I have no argument Djokovic is among the legends of the game. Holding some great records. Now ranked number one is deserved. But put him against Federer in 2006 he would have been out classed. Federer is the most all around greatest tennis player of all time.
@Karlo Popuschek delusional balkan at its finest, must be rough being so short-minded
It's amazing that Ivan Lendl who became world No 1 in 1983 and then held the position for a good 5 plus years, 270 weeks from 1985 to 1990( except briefly for 4 months in 1988, when Wilander was No 1). It was the most competitive era of tennis and yet he still continued to be at the top at the beginning of 1990. It's a reflection of his consistency and longevity at the top. He had to contend with Borg, Connors, Mcnroe, Becker, Edberg, Wilander and yet he managed to win 8 grandslams, 5 year end masters world championships, reach 19 slam finals is a tribute to his grit, persistence and hard work.
very great video!!
Love seeing Sampras Dominate the 90's! Also look at the Rankings from 2009 until now! Here we sit 11 years later and the same 3 are in the top 3! Federer Djokovic and Nadal are nothing short of amazing
It's 4th of August, 2019.
In 6'th of July 2020, Novak will get 311 total weeks at No. 1.
Love you Djoker
For me . 237 consecutive weeks, that’s the one to equal or beat?
@@drstew1 237 in an weak era
Mavric 24 😂
@@drstew1 Thats a weak ass record..... And a great Argument which goes against Federer...
@@drstew1 237 consecutive weeks is no slouch, but people will remember the total more. So the total number is a lot more important.

Saludos desde chile que tambien tuvimos un 1 del mundo
Who else watching this after being heartbroken for Federer's loss to Nole in the 2019 Wimbledon final?
(btw I don't hate Nole, just feel bad that this was probably the last chance for the fellow champ to win a major; would have been a nice way to sunset his tennis career on a memorable note)
*but that 40-15 tho*
Nole, did this twice in the row
Waited for this
awesome Roger
