With Roger Federer’s win over Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal is assured of the year-end world No 1 ranking for the fifth time.
Having previously finished at the top in 2008, 2010, 2013 and 2017, Rafa is the first player to hold, lose and regain the year-end No. 1 on four occasions. He is also the first player to finish No. 1 five times in non-consecutive years. The 11-year gap between his first year-end No. 1 season (2008) and his last (2019) is also a record.
This is the 16th straight season that the year-end World No. 1 ranking has been held by a member of the ‘Big Four’ — Federer (2004-07, ’09), Nadal (2008, ’10, ’13, ’17, ‘19), Djokovic (2011-12, ’14-15, ‘18) or Andy Murray (2016).
Oldest Year-End No. 1 in ATP Rankings History:
1 – Rafael Nadal , 33, in 2019
2 – Novak Djokovic , 31, in 2018
3 – Rafael Nadal, 31, in 2017
4 – Ivan Lendl, 29, in 1989
5 – Andre Agassi , 29, in 1999
