"Enter the Top 10... and stay there until 2043": Nadal's mind-boggling statistic
There are impressive statistics, and then there are those that seem to belong to another universe. Rafael Nadal's 912 consecutive weeks in the world Top 10 clearly falls into the category of numbers that even professional players struggle to comprehend.
912 weeks is the equivalent of 18 years spent among the ten best players on the planet, without a single break, at a time when competition has never been fiercer.
To grasp the magnitude of this achievement, just imagine this:
"It's the equivalent of a player entering the Top 10 today and staying there until 2043," as indicated by the X account, Swish Tennis.
For reference, the Majorcan first entered this ranking on April 25, 2005, before leaving it on March 20, 2023.
What Nadal accomplished goes beyond mere dominance: it's a lesson in resilience and discipline. With every injury, he reinvented himself, refusing to let a single Monday pass without his name in the Top 10.
