> Fed EX

Roger Federer equalled Jimmy Connors' 30-year-old record of 160 consecutive weeks as world number one when the new rankings were released on Monday.

The Swiss, whose streak began on February 2, 2004, drew level with American Connors who enjoyed his run at the top of the standings between July 29, 1974 and August 22 1977.

Federer is guaranteed to break the mark next week even though he has not played a tournament since last month's Australian Open, where he became the first man in 27 years to win a Grand Slam title without dropping a set.

Such is his dominance in the sport, the 25-year-old made sure he would set a new benchmark after he won the season-ending Masters Cup last November.

he'll win 17 and that would be it i guess.

But it would take decades to beat his record. May be it never will

we said that with Sampras and we have fedrer, although i will stick my neck out this time. Fedrer is just above the game, play wize and overall personality.

Sampras was in his own league but can't be compared with federer.

well league or not both are champions.
both are humble
and both don't throw their racquets around (unlike roddick and hewit)
