Dil Dil India Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 No superlatives are enough for RF. He's above the likes of Pele, Ali, Maradonna, Phelps, Usain Bolt and Bradman for me now. Cricketics 1

Dil Dil India Posted February 17, 2018 Author Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) I would guess the Fed fans are too busy celebrating, and the Noledal fans have decided to stay away. But yes, arguably the great sporting achievement of all time. Edited February 17, 2018 by Dil Dil India Cricketics 1
Muloghonto Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 I think of all of the tennis records, #1 at 36 in mens tennis is going to be almost as impossible to break as Bradman's 99 average... Â

Â Absolutely! It is mind-bending especially given how few events he actually played. In the same period, Rafa played what, an extra slam, 4-5 Masters more(?) and other tournaments. That's incredible!

Actually this is the lowest # of tournaments anyone has ever played (13 i believe) to get to #1 since computerized rankings were made. Â

I did think it would be fairly close to the record given he skipped so many tournaments but didn't check if it was actually the case. Thanks for the info :)

Here's hoping you get many such instances to celebrate this year. 2 more slams this year would be great :) Cricketics 1

He's close to the GOAT in all sports currently, surely? Him vs the likes of Ronaldo/Messi and others makes for an interesting convo.
