300 weeks and counting for Roger Federer

The 31-year-old tennis player Roger Federer has been atop the world rankings in men's tennis for 300 weeks, and counting.

"I'm very proud of that record, no doubt about it," Federer told the ATP World Tour.

He has held the No. 1 ranking 14 weeks longer than Pete Sampras, who is No. 2 on the No. 1 list.

"It's an incredible achievement and accomplishment to be ranked No. 1 in the world for 300 weeks," Sampras told the ATP. "It is a testament to his consistency at the top of the game for so many years."

Rafael Nadal, who has been out since Wimbledon because of a patella tendon injury, chimed in with a tweet: "Congrats to Roger for his 300 weeks at first position!"
I hope he can play the tennis all the time. If one day he retired, maybe I will not watch the tennis game again.
