Talk:List of ATP number 1 ranked singles tennis players

Featured list?
This is about as tidy yet comprehensive a tennis statistics page can get on Wikipedia. I think it'd have a good chance of being promoted if someone wants to go through the nomination process. Sod25 (talk) 11:43, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Wrong first date?
This article (and the sources cited) say the first rankings were issued on Monday, 23 August, 1973. (e.g. https://www.atptour.com/en/news/heritage-1973-atp-rankings-celebration-part-i, https://www.tennismajors.com/atp/august-23-1973-the-first-atp-ranking-is-released-459775.html).

But 23 August, 1973 was a Thursday. 92.40.193.58 (talk) 10:59, 6 August 2023 (UTC)


 * The official rankings started being tracked on a Thursday, but they are updated on Mondays. ATP's had many erroneous and incomplete data and articles over the years. Nothing new. Qwerty284651 (talk) 13:16, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Russians in No. 1 players by country
In the No. 1 players by country table, Russian players are counted as having 16 weeks total, including Kafelnikov, Safin and Medvedev. However, Medvedev alone has 16 weeks; the three combined should be 31. Are some of Medvedev's weeks not counted due to Russians having to play under a neutral flag since March 2022, or is it just a mistake? MurdoMaclachlan (talk) 14:29, 9 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Medvedev represented Russia for one week between Feb 28 and Mar 6. After Mar 1, the ATP banned all RUS and BLR players from playing under their flag, therefore 15 weeks (out of 16 total) are not counted towards Russia's total.
 * Safin (9), Kafelnikov (6) and Medvedev (1) add up to 16 weeks atop the rankings for Russia. Qwerty284651 (talk) 15:26, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Makes sense, thanks. Do you think it would be worth adding a note to clarify that, since on the ATP No. 1 ranked singles players table, both of Medvedev's no. 1 stints are shown with the Russian flag? I think that's what confused me. MurdoMaclachlan (talk) 20:02, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I say go for it. You could add a footnote yourself. Qwerty284651 (talk) 20:48, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
